Synopsis: Brianna is the youngest of the three Porter sisters and the only one who chose to stay in the small town of Splendid Lake, North Carolina. She followed in her father's footsteps and became an expert boat mechanic, helping him run their small resort with cabin rentals, a convenience store, and a marina.

When Brianna's father unexpectedly dies, Brianna is steeped in grief and guilt - then left alone to clean up the mess. To make matters worse, a constant stream of real estate brokers begins marching through her property, offering to buy the family land. In particular, she keeps running into handsome real estate mogul Scott Gibson. 

As Brianna struggles to keep it all together, Scott finds his way into her heart. And as the two fight against their feelings, they might just find themselves forging a surprising and exciting new love at Splendid Lake.

Review: In need of a lighter read, the cover of this book called to me from one of the library shelves. It was exactly what I expect from this genre. Thoroughly enjoyed.
