ncludes a sneak peak at Her Mountainside Haven, the next book in the Gallant Lake stories by Jo McNally.

Mary Trace is in the dating pool in her mid-thirties. A customer at her Brooklyn boutique sets Mary up on a blind date with her son, John Modesto-Whitford, who drops a less -than-flattering comment about Marys age during the date. Desperate to be nothing like his politician father, public defender Johns social awkwardness just blew it with the most beautiful woman hes ever dated. Luckily, Moms machinations keep Mary and John running into each other all summer, and soon they resort to fake dating to get her to back off. When their pretense turns to real friendship and some hot chemistry, theyll have to see past their rocky start.
