A hard-nosed businessman with contempt for small town America is forever changed by the love of a sexy hotel owner and a quirky but tight-knit community famous for its anonymous journal by the shore.??
Ella Mayhew’s working view from the spa of her family’s hotel improves dramatically when a hot stranger runs across the grounds—shirtless. He’s the first man to kick-start her hormones since she lost her parents. Too bad she doesn’t even know his name
Graydon Locke’s undercover assignments are always the same: assess a business, recommend it for closure, then roll out before anyone discovers his decision impacts/ruins hundreds of lives. This time, though, he makes two mistakes—falling for the sweet, sexy woman who owns the very business he’s on the verge of axing. And letting the small-town’s residents get involved in both his life and his relationship with Ella.
Ella’s the best thing to ever happen to Gray, but he’s lied to her from the start. If he pulls the plug on Mayhew Manor, the entire lakefront town may crumble from the job losses. Ella couldn’t save her parents, but it’s up to her to save their hotel. Even if that means turning her back on true love.
