  Donny Banks is single – again - and ready to move on. He’s also moved in with his mother again, and he’s the only one in The Coach House Trailer Park who doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. 
  Mainly because he’s got his eyes on the newest park resident, the lovely Ms. Willow Goodhope. Those red curls and that husky voice make the tips of his fingers tingle; even her name stirs him up. That laugh, though… He’d just have to learn to live with it. 
  Or maybe she could learn to close her mouth when that sound threatened to let loose. 
  The Independence Day potluck Willow is holding seems the perfect opportunity to make his intentions clear, and he knows just the treat to bring to make a girl smile.

  Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) and his sister Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) played important roles in the artistic milieu of Victorian England. Members of a highly cultured Italian immigrant family, they achieved widespread fame and exerted a significant influence upon the poetry and art of their time. 
   
  Dante Gabriel was a co-founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood of painters, contributing to a renewed interest in medieval themes and techniques. Both his painting and his poetry anticipated the Aesthetic movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His deep intellect and highly emotional nature are reflected in poems that exhibit a combination of complex symbolism and powerful feeling. He was a master of the sonnet form, as best exemplified in his book The House of Life.Christina served as a model for some of her brother’s early paintings, and she was closely identified with the Pre-Raphaelites. Her poetry is more accessible and displays perhaps a greater felicity of expression than her brother’s. Today she holds a higher reputation, often being ranked (sometimes rather condescendingly) among the leading women poets. Other critics, quite appropriately, consider her a major poet without the feminine label. A deeply devout person, she never married, although she eventually rejected two suitors, both for religious reasons. She produced a large body of Christian poetry, which is not represented in this collection. She also wrote many delightful poems for children. (Summary by Leonard Wilson)
