Lovely model, Gypsy Gaynor, is stranded after a photo shoot when the helicopter that dropped her off on a deserted island with only a floor-length mink cape, a red bikini, and a silk scarf crashes. Injured and unconscious, Gypsy finally awakens to find a sweet little boy named Kevin tugging at her toes and calling her Mother.
He takes her home to the cabin he occupies with his taciturn father, artist Lance Saunders who tells her they are all stuck there for the next month until his friends return to pick him up. Gypsy can do nothing to save herself, but she soon sees a serious problem between father and son and, with nothing else to occupy her time, sets out to learn the reason Kevinβs afraid of his daddy, and why Lance believes thereβs nothing he can do about it.
Within days, she realizes sheβs having a wonderful time with six-year-old Kevin, as well as developing an interest in Lance, though he warned her at the outset not to do so.
Lance, for his part, finds Gypsy annoying, outspoken, interfering and incredibly tempting, mink cape, red bikini and all, however much he tries to hide that from her and from himself.
As she sets out to βfixβ the problem between him and his son, he discovers her methods workβsometimesβbut that even the failures do nothing to stop the determined Gypsy from plying her magic and making him want things heβs better off without, things he knows he doesnβt deserve.
Will the love in Gypsyβs warm heart be enough to heal the emotional injuries life has dealt both father and son? Upon their return to civilization, it appears notβ¦ Until Little Matchmaker Kevin takes matters into his own hands and goes off on an adventurous, potentially dangerous solo search for Gypsy.
