   Summary

   Patrick Turner has fallen in love with a nun. Being a sensible man, he decides the best course of action is to fall in love with someone else.

   Unfortunately, the heart has never been particularly receptive to sound practical advice.

   And Sister Bernadette, who has spent years believing herself above such earthly concerns, is about to discover that jealousy is an awfully human thing.
