Publisher's summary
Maddie’s too busy for romance, and as a single mom has been too busy trying to make ends meet to jump start her languishing photography career.
But when her daughter decides to spend the summer with her father, Maddie accepts the offer of her first solo art show, leaves Seattle and the safety of her job, rents a quaint cottage on a lake in the mountains of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula and gets to work.
She has a short timeline to prepare for her show, and her landlord Jake Murphy, a single dad himself, proves to be quite a distraction. Maddie’s traumatic childhood has left her a loner, but now that success and happiness beckon, she's unsure. Should she should take the chance? Or will it all blow up in her face when the people of Fortune Bay discover who she really is?
Welcome to Fortune Bay.

Cathy Andrews wants it all: a husband, a baby, and a little house in her charming small town of Cadillac, Texas. With all that she’s gone through in her past, she’s earned her happily ever after and is more than ready to put down some long-term roots. The trouble is, she’s no longer sure the reliable man she agreed to marry is the right guy. Sure, he’s got great teeth and hair, but he’s also got dreams of being a politician—and Cathy doesn’t know if she’s ready to be just arm candy to a man who doesn’t stir her blood.
