★★★★★ “This book grabs you and tugs at your heartstrings from beginning to end.” ~Marie B (Amazon Review)
When billionaire entrepreneur Griffin Friesé arrives in small-town Birch Crossing to fix a mistake from his past that still haunts him, he quickly discovers that life in the close-knit lake town doesn’t move at the speed he’s used to. He finds himself stranded in town while he tries to sort out his past…and the only available lodging is far from the five-star luxury he’s used to.
Clare Gray is a widowed single mom in need of a renter for her spare room. When the sexy out-of-town bachelor moves in to her home for a few weeks, her tidy world is upended by the interfering, cocky, and endearingly vulnerable big city businessman.
Late night baking sessions involving lots of wayward chocolate, sizzling attraction, and long-held secrets combust into a surprising, intense connection between the two opposites.
They both know he’ll be leaving town soon, but what happens when Griffin realizes he wants more from the single mom who has given up on love?
