<\/p>\n
What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family\u2019s summer rental?<\/p>\n
Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself\u2014over and over. Things didn\u2019t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.<\/p>\n
But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy.<\/p>\n
Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake\u2014not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He\u2019d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still
\ntrying to figure out why.<\/p>\n
When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid.<\/p>\n
Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden.<\/p>\n
I knew he was just passing through town for the summer.<\/p>\n
I knew he was probably too old for me.<\/p>\n
Yet, I was drawn to him.<\/p>\n
Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning.<\/p>\n
I wanted him and made no secret of it.<\/p>\n
His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from.<\/p>\n
Because he\u2019s leaving at the end of the summer.<\/p>\n
And I have no idea what I\u2019ll do when August ends.<\/p>\n
