Successful rebel Matt Webster returned to Mercy, Indiana to make peace with his past and his family. But, he'd never thought that to appear "respectable," he'd become the pretend fiancé of a banana costume-wearing storeowner! Yet how could he refuse spunky Katie Dole, the woman under the costume, when she kissed him so sweetly--and so thoroughly-- in the spaghetti aisle of the supermarket?
