Levi Bishop prefers his life orderly and borderline silent. However, between his siblings’ getting him elected as chief of police, his full-time job as a contractor, and his fledgling career as a thriller author his plate is overflowing. This cat dad doesn’t have time for one more distraction. Which is why he never should have gone next door to investigate the ruckus. Grace Healey has fond memories of visiting Story Lake as a kid and she’s determined to provide a summer of lakeside memories for her girls. Her emergency fresh start is off to a rocky beginning with a security alarm and the sudden appearance of her new tattooed, shirtless next-door neighbor. Grace’s baggage is the kind that comes served with family trauma and a side of fight or flight. She really, really needs this next chapter to be a good one. When she lands her dream job at a bookstore and her girls start making friends at summer camp she can almost let herself breathe again. The only thing complicating things is Levi. Mr. Fix It, Mr. Last-Minute Nanny. Mr. So Attractive He Can’t Be Human. If he knew the truth, she would lose everything and she’s not going to let that happen… even if it means giving up on her small-town dreams.
