With water pouring from a shower wall, Mariah slips on a towel, knocking her unconscious. She falls and comes face-to-face with one of Whitcomb's Wonders. Plumber Cameron Trent moves her sodden body to a bed out of the water, and performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. But he is the one left stunned when she kisses him and then slugs him. Despite her mixed signals, Cameron finds himself enchanted with the avenging angel with the left hook.

Badly scarred by three miscarriages and a stillbirth, Mariah does not believe her dreams of family will ever come true. Her husband cruelly stressed his need for biological children and rejected her when she refused to get try another pregnancy. Now Mariah enjoys her quiet life as a dorm mother at the local boarding school and dreams of a trip to Europe. She resents Cameron's intrusion her life because he ignites her desire for things she cannot have.

Muriel Jenson brings a small-town richness to MAN WITH A MESSAGE, part of the continuing Men of Maple Hill series. Heroine Mariah echoes the disillusionment endemic in many modern women when her dreams of a traditional family seem to have become impossible. But Cameron's heart-warming assurances that dreams can come true makes MAN WITH A MESSAGE a modern fairy tale complete with a happy ending. Secondary characters are likewise endearing from Mariah's bohemian sister to her young charge that insists upon digging for bold in attics behind shower tile. A warm read filled with charm, MAN WITH A MESSAGE comes highly recommended.
