"Another beautifully-written, evocative and thoroughly enjoyable story!" --Tessa Shapcott, former Mills & Boon editorIan Haven and Halcyon Gilbert haven't seen each other since Hallie's 17th birthday...the same day Hallie pledged she would never, ever speak to Ian again as long as she lived.Hallie Gilbert has had an especially awful year. When her husband of five years left her, Hallie's 4-year-old daughter, Jenny, essentially stopped speaking. Add to this, she had to sell her Boston apartment to pay her husband's exorbitant credit card bills. What Hallie needs is an uncomplicated autumn at Colby Cottage, her family's summer home in Sandwich, NH, where she and Jenny can re-group and figure out what happens next. But Colby Cottage, located adjacent to the Summerhaven Camp, has not been well-maintained and Hallie finds it in such disrepair, it's almost unlivable. When nearby camp owner, Rory Haven, arranges for his brother, Ian, to handle renovations for Hallie, her plans for an uncomplicated autumn suddenly get a lot more challenging.
