Jeannie Scott had sworn off men for the rest of her life, and little wonder! Her ex-husband had coldly and deliberately deprived Jeannie of her home, her job, and her son. Moving from the mega city of Toronto to a small city on Georgian Bay, she acquired a job in a grocery store, locked her heart in a deep freeze, and threw away the key. Clay Marshall, veterinarian and hunk-incredible, had the best of both worlds...a mother who ran his household like clockwork, and countless girl-friends eager to fulfill his every desire. He had no need for a wife until his mother suddenly passes away, and left him floundering helplessly, all alone, in his huge house. When Jeannie's beloved little dog Sassy became deathly ill, and she was forced to seek out a veterinarian, Clay Marshall completely blew her secure cocoon-wrapped little world into a million pieces. In order to escape from the unwanted attentions of several fortune-hunting women, and from the schemes of his two money-hungry sisters, Clay told a little white lie. Although he had met Jeannie, only hours before, he said that he and Jeannie had just been to visit the justice of the peace, and they had gotten married. Clay Marshall really and truly started something with the seemingly tiny fib which mushroomed and ballooned into gigantic proportions, until he could see absolutely no solution to the dilemma other than getting married - like he said they had! Jeannie was adamantly opposed to that idea, although she had fallen like a ton of bricks for the fool veterinarian who had gotten her into such an enormous mess of trouble, at work, with his little white lie. However, she was totally convinced that Clay was only using her, and wasn't actually in love with her, Jeannie Scott, and she had made a vow to never ever put her trust in any man again...and she meant to keep it! It took a tremendous amount of persuasion from Clay and Sassy, and a joyous reunion with her son Finlay, to persuade Jeannie to take her heart out of the deep freeze, and live and love again.
