I loved this book. A great romance, that is set in a small town in Door County, Wisconsin. I live in this area, so it was especially fun reading the book and being able to visualize the setting.

LaVyrle Spencer never fails to keep the reader wanting more. A really wonderful story.

The untimely death of her husband leaves Maggie Pearson wealthy but emotionally bereft. Two decades after she has left home, Maggie returns to Wisconsin to fortify her spirits and decides to open a bed-and-breakfast despite dire warnings from her tight-lipped mother and the hurt fury of her college-age daughter. Her first love, Eric Severson, is also back in town, running a family-owned charter fishing boat to the great displeasure of his beautiful, ambitious wife. As Eric and his spouse battle over whether to sidetrack her career in favor of a baby, he and Maggie drift together.
