Description
Callahan Kane, a disgraced athlete and wealthy heir struggling with alcoholism, returns to Lake Wisteria to satisfy the final condition of his grandfather’s will. He must spend the summer at the family lake house, renovate it, and prepare it for sale before he can claim his inheritance. The problem is Lana Castillo: his childhood best friend and former love now lives there with her daughter, and her name on the deed gives her a competing claim. Their forced proximity revives affection alongside the hurt Cal left behind. As financial obligations collide with recovery and family responsibility, this second-chance romance asks whether returning home can repair a broken relationship when the promised future depends on selling the place that holds their shared past.
