Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel.

What do you do when a sexy older man moves into your family’s summer rental? 

Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself - over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least. 

But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake - not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer...and I was still trying to figure out why. 

When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life...as a maid. 

Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden. 

I knew he was just passing through town for the summer. 

I knew he was probably too old for me. 

Yet I was drawn to him. 

Not to mention he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning. 

I wanted him and made no secret of it. 

His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from. 

Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer. 

And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.

This book was awesome. I lost my whole day to it cause I just couldn’t stop listening. Icing on the poltergeist cake is it was read by my two favorite narrators. Today was a great day. Thank you Penelope Ward.

Loved the relationship

I loved the characters chemistry right from the beginning. I loved how it progressed. I laughed, cried and I got butterflies in my tummy from their emotional connection. I listened to the book while working remotely. In one day. I couldn’t stop.
Thank you!

Love it

I love this book. Andi and Sebastian did a great job as always. I can’t stop listening to this book and had to finish it the same day. Ending was so lovely and sweet.
