Tall Order

Does every hero have to be tall, dark, and handsome, or can a quality guy win the girl if he only has two out of three? At six-foot-one, twenty-seven-year-old art history teacher Ava Morrison of Richmond, Virginia is no starry-eyed romantic. She’d rather live alone than compromise on the specifications for her dream man. Is it really too much to ask to literally look up to her date?

Sparks fly when Ava auditions for a role in the community theater’s production of the Shakespeare comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ava feels she has been typecast to play the tall and awkward Helena, and the director who assigned her the role is Troy Burnett, a soccer-playing single father who measures in at a measly five-foot-eight.

When a tall, dark, and handsome visiting English professor begins wooing Ava, Troy has to go the distance to convince Ava that in regard to size, heart matters more than height.
