Each summer, Kate Livingston retuns to her family's lakeside cottage, a place of simple living and happy times. Her quiet life gets a bit more interesting when new neighbor J. D. Harris arrives. Although she is a confirmed single mom and knows little of JD's past, Kate is soon drawn into the sweetness of a summer romance and discovers the passion of a lifetime.

JD has good reason for being secretive. In a moment of sheer bravery, the Washington DC paramedic prevented a terrible tragdy. Overnight the intensely private man becomes a national hero. The media blitz causes him to escapes to a friend's lakeside cottage and there he meets Kate and her son and remembers the joy of small pleasures.

A great summer read - quick and enjoyable
