Alex Byrd leads a fast-paced life, struggling under the pressure to be a top performer at a ruthless New York City law firm and to meet the expectations of her family name. A summer weekend to a sleepy lake town was just what she needed to take a break and maybe have a little fun at the same time.
When a chance encounter with a local firefighter leaves her hungry for more, Alex finds her summer fling is turning into something she never expected. As she starts falling for a man who doesn't fit into her family's vision for her future, will she be strong enough to forge her own way, or will she leave it all behind on Diamond Lake?
Nikki Theissen's debut novel is a moving romance about how two people trapped in entirely different lives can find courage and freedom in each other.
