Overview

Harper Reid's career depends on finishing her next mystery novel, and she's booked a secluded lake cabin to focus in perfect solitude. What she gets instead is a double booking with Sophie Calloway—a leather artisan who treats silence like a personal enemy, complete with three yappy pint-sized dogs who consider squirrel alerts a sacred duty.

For Harper, Sophie's endless commentary on everything under the sun is pure torture. For Sophie, Harper's brooding intensity is both infuriating and intriguing. Their forced cohabitation seems doomed from the start.

When Sophie rescues Harper after she gets lost in the woods, the ice begins to thaw. Against all odds, Harper becomes increasingly drawn to Sophie's unfiltered authenticity, while Sophie discovers the vulnerable woman behind the writer's reserved facade.

But summer can't last forever. With their time together drawing to a close and painful truths threatening to tear them apart, Harper and Sophie must decide if summer's end means goodbye—or if some connections are worth fighting for, no matter the distance.
