"Rains has a light, tasteful touch with hard truths, and her swoonworthy hero would heal any broken heart. The strength of River and Tess’s bond and the intensity of their chemistry make a familiar trope feel fresh. Series readers will be especially delighted to revisit the charming small town of Somerset Lake and check in with its colorful residents, from faithful friends to nosy neighbors. This is a treat." —Publishers Weekly
