When Manhattan attorney Vince Hayward retreats to his late brother’s lake house for the summer, the last thing he expects is to fall for the town—or its fiercely independent gift shop owner.

Anna Metcalf is rebuilding her life after losing her mother, determined to honor the family shop her mother left behind. She’s learned the hard way that summer visitors always leave, so when the brooding city lawyer starts showing up at The Keepsake, she knows better than to get involved.

But Vince isn’t just passing through. Haunted by loss and burned out, he finds something in this small lakeside town he never knew he was missing. In Anna’s quiet strength and passionate dedication, he discovers a life worth staying for.

Just as Anna begins to believe against her better judgment that this time could be different, Vince’s old world comes calling with a crisis that threatens everything they’ve built. When duty collides with desire, both must decide what they’re willing to risk for love.

Sometimes the best things in life are worth the leap of faith—even when you can’t see where you’ll land.

A heartwarming small-town opposites attract romance about finding home and the courage to trust your heart again.
