Ella Mayhew's always appreciated the beautiful view of
Seneca Lake from the spa window of her family's hotel.But
the view improves dramatically when a hot stranger runs
across the grounds—shirtless. He's the first man to
kickstart her hormones in the three years since she lost
her
parents, and she doesn't even know his name.
Graydon Locke's on his umpteenth undercover assignment.
The
routine's always the same: assess a business, recommend
it
for closure, then roll out before anyone discovers his
decisions impact hundreds of lives. He's always believed
nothing good comes out of small towns. Why would this one
be
different? Then he makes two classic rookie mistakes—
falling
for the sweet, sexy girl who owns the very business he's
on
the verge of axing. And letting the town's residents get
involved in both his life, and his relationship with
Ella.
Ella's the best thing to ever happen to Gray, but he's
lied
to her from the start. If he pulls the plug on Mayhew
Manor,
the entire town may crumble. Ella couldn't save her
parents,
but it's up to her to save their hotel. Even if that
means
turning her back on true love.
Cute premise. I always hated the awkwardness of first dates. The whole getting to know the real person can be quite a challenge but also rewarding. I had a lot of first dates that flopped. Sometimes people can be attracted but totally incompatible. (Laurie Gommermann 1:46pm June 24, 2014)
