Meet Me At The Lake: The Inn at Loon's Reach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798240906787)

A warm, atmospheric debut novel about grief, second chances, and the kind of love that arrives when you've finally stopped looking for it.

One inheritance. One stranger. One impossible summer.

Margot Sinclair hasn't been back to Loon's Reach in twelve years. Not since the fight with her grandmother that turned into a silence. Not since she packed her bags, swore off the lake, and built a quiet, careful life in the city. She is a wedding planner. She arranges other people's joy for a living. She is very good at her job and very lonely in her own life, and she has been planning to keep it that way for as long as she can.

Then her grandmother dies. And the will is read. And everything changes.

Loon's Reach Inn - eight cabins, one creaking lodge, and four decades of her grandmother's heart - has been left to Mae and a stranger named Theo Marchetti. A former restaurateur. A quiet man with kind eyes and his own quiet grief. A man who has been running the inn for the past nine months and who knew Vivienne in the years Mae did not.

They have eleven weeks to save the inn together.

Or lose it forever.

Mae arrived intending to be gone by Friday. She is now expected to share a kitchen, a dock, and a porch swing with a man she has every reason to resent and absolutely no business falling for. Theo arrived nine months ago and never planned to leave. Now he has to learn how to share a place he has just begun to call home with the granddaughter who never came.

By Labor Day, they will have to choose what to do with the inn.

And with each other.

If only Mae could trust the man her grandmother trusted before her. If only she could stop running from the place that raised her. If only she could let herself stay.

What could possibly go wrong?

Meet Me at the Lake: The Inn at Loon's Reach is the first novel in the Loon's Reach Series - a slow-burn romance set on the shores of a small Canadian lake. For readers who love quiet inns, family secrets, and love stories that take their time.
