Publisher's Synopsis
32-year-old Highlander Camry MacKeage was surprised how easy it had been to walk away from her beloved career at NASA, sever contact with all her friends to start a doggie daycare service and live as a recluse. Her newly-developed ability to lie to and avoid her family was also easier than expected to accept. It was all soeasy, in fact, it downright terrified her. Though she denies it, Camry finds herself smack in the middle of a career crisis she hadn't seen coming. So when she excuses herself from the MacKeage family solstice celebration by saying she has to "work," Camry thinks she's home free. What she doesn't expect, though, is her former European co-worker, Luke Pascal, showing up at the MacKeage home, half frozen to death and ready to spill all her secrets to her family.
Though shocked to hear from this dishevelled stranger that Camry no longer works at NASA, her parents take it upon themselves to nurse Luke back to health. But when a colourful Christmas card mysteriously arrives, postmarked from the small Maine coastal town of Go Back Cove, they come up with a plan to get their daughter back. So, a fully-recovered Luke agrees to head north and persuade Camry to come home for Christmas. But little does anyone know that Luke, intent on charming his way into Camry's life, has a plan of his own...
