Publisher's Synopsis
At thirty-three, Maren Laughlin's just turned down her boyfriend's proposal and returned to her childhood playground in Northern Wisconsin to accept her inheritance: a decrepit waterfront bait shop. After a lifetime of letting things happen to her, she's ready to start making her own moves. Josiah Cole has made some missteps in his life, but he's proud of what he has. After his marriage dissolved, leaving him a single dad, he feels he's the last person to judge Maren for her recent transformation. Besides, he genuinely likes having her around. She's a breath of fresh air, his kids adore her, and it doesn't hurt that she's beautiful. Things between Maren and Joe are easy. So easy, they're fully immersed in the middle before they even decide to begin. It's not a question of should they, but rather can they make it last?
