"Hazel didn't think there was anything a homemade apple pie couldn't fix - until her husband divorced her and left her broke. Trying her best to raise her ten-year old daughter and make ends meet, hazel is desperate for a fresh start. When she inherits a fixer-upper in the small town of Maple Bay, Hazel and her daughter head to the country for the reading of her biological mother's will. but a clause in the will says Hazel and her sister-the sister she didn't know existed-mush live together on the rural property for one summer, or forfeit their inheritance. If Hazel can tough it out in the country for a few months, she stands to gain a historic carriage house. It needs renovation, but Hazel thinks she can fix it up, sell it as a bed-and breakfast, and use the profits to begin her life anew, back in the city. She isn't planning to stay in Maple Bay, or to fall in love with her sister's best friend, Jesse-a single dad and handsome cowboy who is recovering from heartbreak of his own." --Back cover.
