Carrie has always been a fighter. Growing up with an eccentric mother taught her how to dream big, and after surviving cancer, she’s ready to make those dreams a reality. With a charming fixer-upper on the shores of Lake Traverse, she’s determined to transform it into a cozy bed and breakfast. Life is finally falling into place—and when Dax Abram, her longtime hometown crush, begins to notice her, Carrie dares to believe that hope is on the horizon. Dax, however, is far from ready to open his heart again. Once a confident and charismatic basketball player, his world shattered when he lost his wife to cancer. His daughter, Kylie, became his anchor, but the idea of finding love again feels impossible. Dax has sworn off relationships, convinced he’ll never feel that kind of happiness again. But when Carrie re-enters his life, something shifts. Their easy friendship stirs feelings he thought were buried forever. As both Carrie and Dax navigate the scars of their pasts, they find themselves wondering if healing could mean opening up to the possibility of a future—together.
