Whirlwind is an appropriate enough title for this first book in the twelve story cycle that is to make up Harlequin's Tyler series, for that is just how Liza Baron makes her entries. Like a whirling dervish.
Broke and homeless, Liza Baron drives aimlessly through the night and winds up on the outskirts of the small Wisconsin town she thought she had left behind years ago. Not ready to mend fences with her estranged family, Liza instead heads over to the now crumbling Timberlake Lodge, there she surprises the haunted recluse Cliff Forrester. Verbal sparks fly between the seemingly mismatched couple and Liza decides to move in and restore the Timberlake (and Cliff) to past glory. Easier said than done, especially when the remains of a dead body (Liza's missing Grandmother perhaps?) are discovered on the property.

Whirlwind constantly whips from heartwarming romance to creepy supsense and back again so fast your head might spin. But author Nancy Martin never once looses her balance and crafts a wonder story that is a delight to read.
