Benny and Babe 

Benny glowered at her. Babe by name, but most certainly not by nature.
A summer in the Irish countryside is not Benny Shaw”s idea of a good time. Especially since the people of Duncade don”t appreciate him as the sporting prodigy that he is. All he gets is teasing, which is a favourite pastime of annoying tomboy Babe Meara.
Streetwise Benny has met his match and he doesn”t know the rules of this particular game. And when Babe turns from a real pain into a real girl, the trouble well and truly begins.
