When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title America\u2019s Friendliest Town<\/em>\u00a0for seventeen years running, and\u00a0friendly\u00a0<\/em>was just what I needed right now.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, friendly<\/em>\u00a0wasn\u2019t the welcome I got when I arrived.<\/p>\n Instead, I got Fox Cassidy<\/em>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.<\/p>\n Okay, so I might\u2019ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might\u2019ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might\u2019ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still\u2026he didn\u2019t have to be so grumpy.<\/p>\n As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn\u2019t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I\u2019d ever met.<\/p>\n But alas,\u00a0problem<\/em> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home\u2026<\/p>\n They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it\u2019s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind\u2026is your heart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vi Keeland is a #1\u00a0New York Times<\/em>, #1\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>, and\u00a0USA Today<\/em>\u00a0Bestselling author.
