Publisher's summary

There were times when Jonas Brownstein wasn’t certain why he bothered having a doorbell or locking his front door since his brother never bothered with the first and made quick work of the second.

Patty on the other hand knew how to use the doorbell but simply ignored it. She’d given both he and Jay the door-picks as a gift years ago so while she might not be thrilled that their brother was adept at the skills that it took to use them, she also accepted that she wasn’t in the best position to criticize him for it.

They didn’t grow up together…didn’t know each other existed until they were teenagers but given who their father was, that was no big surprise. Now for the first time in their lives, they were living within walking distance of each other. Maybe not in the same house but closer than they ever had before courtesy of Jay’s unexpected venture into real estate. He’d been determined to have his family close…and now he did.

And soon realized that you really should be careful of what you wished for….

Jay’s determination to include his and Patty’s mothers into their circle of homes around the lake didn’t go exactly as planned…especially when he made a major mistake and left his mother out of the loop…something that she wasn’t ever going to let him forget. And she has her own plans of how to make certain that he doesn’t make that kind of mistake again.

For Jonas, who had little experience with family until finding his brother and sister and their mothers, it is almost a welcome reprieve after a day spent dealing with the never-ending turmoil at his place of work which has its own set of dilemmas to deal with.

The Lakeside Haven series is the ongoing story of a family that found each other later in life…and because of that learned quickly the value of their unbreakable bond…one that no matter how harshly or often tested by the circumstances cannot be broken. That wasn’t to say there weren’t the usual complications that came with families. Unexpected Everything is the second book in the Lakeside Haven series.
