Love Shy — Marcine Smith

A FRIEND IN NEED...

Social worker Jill Fulbright was used to helping others, but the tables turned when her grouchy landlady unexpectedly evicted her. A sympathetic friend eagerly came to the rescue, offering the vacant guest quarters on her estate. Reluctantly, Jill accepted ... suspecting that her friend's motive was matchmaking for her two bachelor sons!

Eligible Daniel Holiday was always wary of man-hunting females--especially if his mother was involved! So when the pretty, temporary tenant showed up, he vowed to keep his distance. That shouldn't have been difficult for the reclusive genius, who usually emerged from his workshop only to eat and sleep. But Jill's presence proved oddly distracting, and Daniel soon found himself inventing excuses to see her.

Painfully shy, but hopelessly enraptured, he'd finally stumbled upon a breakthrough discovery--love!
