Before dawn on Mary Eileen Singer’s thirteenth birthday, she went onto the front lawn and washed her face in the dew. According to her grandmother, the first man she saw would be the man she would someday marry. Right after breakfast Matty Benton showed up. Thankfully she didn’t exactly see him. She quickly covered her eyes, because there was no way she was going to marry Matty. He picked on her more than any boy in school. He made it his mission in life to make her miserable. Okay, so there was that one time he saved her from a bunch of bullies, but he still picked on her. He tells her—as she sits with a hand over her eyes—that he’s leaving. He’s going to live with an uncle in New York. He just wanted to say goodbye. She’s surprised to feel him gently kiss her cheek. He says he’s left her a present on the fence post. When she’s sure he’s gone, she looks... it’s a piece of beach glass shaped like a heart. She falls in love with the glass, even though she’s sure she’ll never love Matty Benton. That night she sees a tall, dark-haired man in her dreams and decides that he must be the man she was destined for... not Matty. She dreams of her dark-haired man frequently after that.
Lee Singer is a woman who loves the quiet, safe life she’s built for herself after a messy divorce and losing a baby. But when Adam Benton, a childhood friend/nemesis, walks into her shop all grown up and pretty heavenly looking, things get a little less than quiet. They get even noisier when it turns out Adam comes equipped with a one-year-old niece, Jessie. He’s been named Jessie’s guardian and has a month to decide if he can balance her needs with his work. Since he’s a work-a-holic, that’s going to take a lot of balancing. The icing on Lee’s strange-summer-on-the-lake arrives in... an RV. Her normally disinterested parents decide to visit, park their RV behind Lee’s cottage, and prepare to get real interested in Lee’s life.
Yes, quiet and safe is all but a distant memory for Lee. But sometimes it takes a bit of chaos to find where your heart truly belongs.
