A workaholic and a free spirit collide at a Pacific-Northwest island getaway in this romantic short story by a #1 New York Timesβbestselling author.
Off the coast of Washington lies Spruce Island, home to Rainshadow Lodge, the perfect summer retreat. Neither Mitch Rutherford or Rosie Galvez expect to find romance during their month-long visit to the rambling Victorian getaway. Mitch, an architect, is a workaholic on a deadline, while Rosieβs determined to relax and enjoy the scenery while preparing an environmental report. But despiteβor perhaps because?βof their differences, they find themselves drawn to each other, and their lives are irrevocably changed by their stay at the lodge.
