Avery Thane MacLeod III had everything -- including a nagging case of boredom. Tired of jet-setting, he was looking forward to R and R on Cape Hatteras. He wasn't going to shave, change his clothes or wash a dish. After three days, the novelty had worn off....

Janey Abbott was a risk-taker. Armed with a dozen how-to books, she'd set out to explore the Cape. When she encountered an unshaven bum obviously camping out in a deserted cottage, eating out of cans, her heart went out to him. Here was a project worthy of her talents!

Neither knew what hit them.
