Grace Healey dreams of giving her daughters the same summer lakeside memories that made her own childhood so special. Which is how she finds herself at her grandmother’s lake house in the small town of Story Lake – this time as a single mother determined to put her past behind her. When she also lands her dream job in the local bookstore, she even lets herself believe this next chapter could be a good one – as long as she can keep her past hidden.

Levi Bishop prefers life orderly and quiet. And with three jobs already on his plate – including one as a newly successful author – he doesn’t have time for another distraction. Especially one that moves in next door… with two loud children and a propensity for setting off the alarm. Even so, Levi can’t seem to keep away.

Grace knows that if Levi found out the truth about her past, he’d never look at her the same way. But Levi – emotionally-mature adult male, last-minute-babysitter and all-round-good-guy – knows that no good relationship ever started with secrets. He’s not about to let her get away with hiding her true self from him . . .

Can Levi convince Grace that her heart is safe with him? And can Grace finally learn that she is worthy of being loved – not only by Levi, but also by herself . . .
