This summer, they'll learn that home is where the heart is.

Somerset Lake is the perfect place for Trisha Langly and her son to start over. As the new manager for the Somerset Cottages, Trisha is instantly charmed by the property's elderly residents and her firecracker of a new boss, Vi Fletcher. But Trisha is less enchanted by Vi's protective grandson Jake. No matter how tempting she finds the handsome lawyer, Trisha knows that if Jake discovers the truth about her past, she'll lose the new life she's worked so hard to build.

Jake Fletcher left Somerset Lake after a tragic loss, but he's returning for the summer to care for his beloved grandmother, hoping Vi will sell the run-down cottages and finally slow down. There's just one problem: Trisha, Vi's new employee. She's smart, beautiful, and kind, but Jake's job is to protect his grandmother's interests, and his gut is telling him Trisha's hiding something that could jeopardize Vi's future. However, as they spend summer days renovating the property and bonding over their love for the town, Jake realizes that Trisha is a risk worth taking--if only she can trust him with her secrets . . . and her heart.

Includes the bonus novella Kiss Me in Sweetwater Springs!
Trisha is looking for a new start with her son after what her husband has put her though. Now she's working as a property manager for Vi's cottages after a stroke and some bad business decisions are causing her family to question whether she should continue to be there alone. Jake is visiting his grandmother's to see how things are going and to work on convincing his grandmother to leave the cottages behind and locate closer to family. He never expected a person like Trisha and her boy to find their way into his heart. But he's only there for a short while and Trisha has a secret and isn't looking for romance.

I loved this book it was just such a great summery type of read. If you are looking for a book to read by the pool side, on the beach or at home in front of the ac pick up this book. I loved the romance forming. It was tough seeing how Trisha and her son dealt with the after math of her husbands choices. They were finally going to get that much needed start. Both mother and child were dealing with trust issues and it was interesting watching them as they open up. Then there was Jake who really wanted what was best for his grand mother and had his uncle just being a pest pushing him to convince the grandmother to get out of there already. I couldn't help but wonder if there really was anything there that made him to pushy. I don't want to talk more about this book just read the book when you can its such a great read. Perfect for the summer if you are looking for an escape.
