Lillian Shaw needs a change of scenery. After a shocking breakup with her boyfriend of 9 years, her best-laid plans have been shattered and left her nursing a terminal case of writer's block. A summer at her grandparents' secluded cottage on the shores of Lake Huron is just what the doctor ordered. Or so Lillian thought. Soon after she arrives, the peaceful atmosphere of Bluefield is disrupted in more ways than one. Jackson Mane is out to prove himself. To his father, to his employees, and unexpectedly to the pretty blonde that has caught his eye. As a born and bred city boy, being sentenced to a summer in the small town of Bluefield is an adjustment. He plans to spend his spare time on the lake while keeping his head down and finishing the project without fail. But as "accidents" start to pile up on the job site, it becomes clear something more sinister may be working against him. A relationship is the last thing either of them needs to be thinking about, but playboy Jackson Mane can't keep bookworm, Lillian Shaw, out of his head. Lillian and Jackson's connection grows stronger, and so do the potential threats around them. Threats to their careers, relationships, and lives.
