A summer at the lake tests Rachel’s independence

After a very public breakup, heiress Rachel Henderson retreats to her family’s lake house hoping for privacy. A candle mishap brings her into contact with Wyatt, the local fire captain, and sets off a summer that also includes a new roommate, an ill-fitting job, and an effort to manage life without her family’s help. As Rachel and Wyatt grow closer, their different ideas about roots and permanence give the romance its central tension: she is accustomed to moving on, while he values staying put. The lake-house setting and Rachel’s push toward independence anchor this contemporary romance.

When the local fire department shows up--specifically the ridiculously hot fire captain--the house is saved, but the captain scorches her pride with a lecture about fire safety.

Determined to prove she can handle life on her own without her family's help, Rachel finds a new roommate and a new job--too bad she's terrible at it. Oh, and she keeps running into Captain Tall-Dark-and-Infuriating (which definitely isn't a hardship). The more time they spend together, the more their conversations start to get real, and Rachel finds herself falling for Wyatt. She thinks he might even feel the same way.

The only problem? Wyatt is all about roots and permanence, while Rachel is the very definition of flighty. But this summer, she just might be tempted to stay ...
