The Painted Lady — Lucinda Baker

Hale Lochland has inherited one of the gorgeous Victorian houses that are known in San Francisco as "Painted Ladies." It will be featured on a popular television show if Hale can get the house in shape in time. But the house is filled to the rafters with clutter and junk, and Hale can't throw anything away to save his life.

Cassie MacTavish owns a company called Order Unlimited; she helps people get organized. She is a professional neat freak. Cassie agrees to work on Hale's house. But what Cassie thinks is trash, Hale regards as treasure.

Can a pack rat and a professional neat freak find common ground, or will Hale's Painted Lady keep them apart?
