Publisher's summary

Kori

People are so serious about life. I feel it was made to be enjoyed. I’m not interested in having a great career or climbing a corporate ladder or being inside much at all, actually.

I don’t like to stay with things too long, either. I’ve worked as a short line cook, a firefighter, and a dolphin trainer among other things. So, when the ladies at the Good Grief senior living center offer me a short term job as the photographer for the risqué nature calendar they want to pose for—to cross it off of Miss Agnes’s bucket list—I am all in.

A few online photography courses later and I am ready to roll. Unfortunately, the guide of our choice, my sister’s fiancé, Bain, is all booked up. So he gets us his brother, Hoover, instead.

Hoover and I have a bit of history, but he is as boring as the day is long and I couldn’t be less interested.

Everything is going as planned until Miss Agnes decides she actually has being a photographer on her bucket list, Miss Harriet comes down with a severe case of sunburn on her nether regions, and Miss Gertrude runs off with her favorite narrator.

Suddenly I’m the star of the risqué calendar, Miss Agnes is taking my picture, and Hoover…well, Hoover disapproves of pretty much everything, and he hates me, too. I want to fire him, but Miss Agnes has other plans....

Hoover

I thought I was leading a tour to show the ladies Idaho’s scenic places and wildlife.

I was misinformed, although Kori equals wild life. Way too wild for me. I mean, show the woman a mud puddle and she wants to skinny dip in it.

Then, Miss Agnes decides that I should be in the calendar too, and I have an 80-year-old woman explaining to me what a speedo is…

I’m on to Miss Agnes’s plans, but I’m not sure Kori and I are strong enough to fight the tide….
