Gabriel St. James is the ultimate loner but as loyal as they come which explains why this former marine photojournalist is taking wedding photos. Bored and uncomfortable, talking to the inquisitive veterinarian Charity Tiernan brightens up the day. Charity finds Gabe fascinating and very attractive but men like him are not interested in anything long term. She might have stood a chance of resisting if not for his rescue of a wounded dog. Gabe's all about reality and his pictures depict this yet Charity believes there is a softer side even he doesn't know exists within him. To say Gabe is shocked by his inability to resist Charity is an understatement yet it does not stop him from getting to know her better. Almost marrying the wrong man has taught Charity caution but not enough to stay away from Gabe. When Gabe agrees to teach at Charity's favorite camp for separated siblings each of them are in for a life changing event. Gabe who never thought for a minute he could have or would want a family finds it within reach if only he has the courage to accept that he can have a lifetime of love.

Family and passion is Ms. Ross's trademark for assuring us that opening one of her books will take readers into a world filled with captivating characters, humor and an enduring love story. ONE SUMMER is another keeper from this talented author.
