Dillon Michaels has had a run-in with her boyfriend AND her boss. The upshot is she lost her job and broke up with her boyfriend.
She packs her things, loads her car, and drives from Colorado Springs, to her grandfather's home in Silverdale, Oregon. She finds that her mother has taken up residence in what was her bedroom during Dillon's growing up years, so Dillon found herself relegated to a dilapidated sofa, until her grandfather gifted her with a tiny trailer that she could restore.
Through her plans, Dillon meets Jordan Atwood, and feels a bit of attraction. She sees him again when she started teaching swimming lessons and he's there to pick up two little girls who were fighting tooth and nail not to get in the water. Dillon writes him off as married, with children and goes about her days restoring her camp trailer and teaching swimming lessons.
Throughout the whole book, Brandon, the ex-boyfriend keeps showing up to try and win Dillon back. Dillon explicitly explains to him that there is no hope for any kind of relationship beyond friendship, and even that is on shaky ground. He refuses to take her answer as final and even shows up at the camp out the camping trailer club has every year. He has roses and a ring, and even before Dillon even sees the ring, she reads him the riot act. He has to learn to accept NO as a completely final answer.
Jordan runs hot and cold throughout the book and is protecting his heart from another heart-break that he had years earlier. His temper gets the best of him and he can't settle his mind and his heart for what they are truly trying to tell him.
This is a four star book, not quite up to the quality that Melody writes.
