If he finds out who she is, all bets are off. Aspiring filmmaker Izzy Gordon just wants her big break – and a film about an old resort with a scandalous gangster history is sure to do it. There’s just one snag – her family wants to sell the property to developers, and the resort owners are fighting to stop them. If Izzy wants to get this film made, no one can ever know who she really is. Gib Murphy, globe-trotting photojournalist, is home recovering from a deadly war assignment that left him injured and broken. He just wants some peace. Bad enough that he’s been drafted into helping his grandparents battle to save their resort, but now, a filmmaker is digging into old family secrets. Even worse, he’s falling for her and the feeling is mutual. But with everything Izzy and Gib are hiding, will they miss their chance for happily-ever-after? LOVE ON THE LANE is the first book in THE BACHELOR NEXT DOOR series – romantic, fast-paced stories with sparkling dialogue and heroes to die for. A previous version of this novel was published under the title, Her Best Bet.
