If only Lola Dunne had the timeâand the courageâsheâd write her novel, and maybe even start dating again. When her friend offers the use of her summer home overlooking Lake Haven, Lola sees the chance to focus on herself for a change, and she eagerly accepts.
Engineer Harry Westbrook is waiting for his ship to come in. But itâs not happening soon enough for his girlfriend, whoâs left him for good...again. To nurse Harryâs heartache, his pal extends an invite to his lake house in East Beach.
When it turns out that Harryâs and Lolaâs friends are a divorcing, not-on-speaking-terms couple sparring over the same house, the strangers find themselves accidental (and reluctant) roommates for the summer. They agree to make the best of it, even posing as a couple to mingle among East Beachâs well-heeled crowd. But the ruse is starting to feel realâand romantic. Are they brave enough to reveal their feelings before the summer nights turn cold?
