About this ebook

It all started with a lodge on a lake, a damaged hero, and a mistaken identity...

Izzy Gordon is sleepwalking through life. But when a letter arrives reminding her of long-forgotten dreams, her best friend convinces her to make a short film about the gangster history of an old Northwoods resort. It should be easy – Izzy’s parents own the land the resort sits on. But there’s a snag – her family wants to sell to developers, and the resort owners are fighting to stop them. So Izzy books a room under a fake name.

Gib Murphy, globe-trotting photojournalist, knows all about lost dreams. Home recovering from a war assignment that left him injured and broken, all he wants is some peace and quiet. Bad enough that he’s been drafted into helping his grandparents battle to save their resort, but now, a filmmaker is digging into old family secrets.

Even worse, he's falling for her. But with everything Izzy and Gib are hiding, will they miss their chance for happily-ever-after?
