You know those stories – where guy meets girl, they fall for each other, life does its best to tear them apart, but in the end, love conquers all and they embark on their life together?
Yeah? Well, this isn’t one of those stories. This is more like some old country song. A song about a man and a woman who’ve already lived through great highs and lows. A man and a woman who’ve reached their fifties and who, despite humble beginnings have achieved great things in different ways.
He’s had an amazing career as one of country music’s biggest names. She’s raised a daughter and given her everything she needed to go out and succeed in the world.
They’ve both given their all to their chosen path in life, and when those paths cross, two lonely hearts finally see their chance at true happiness.
It’s hardly a spoiler to say that an old country song might end with the sun setting over two rocking chairs on a front porch. You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heart-warming romance today to find out if Marianne and Clay’s story ends that way.

Where the Rainbow Ends - Diego and Izzy's story.
Diego believes that it’s important to focus on the sunny side. The beautiful arcs of color that appear in the sky may be known as rainbows, but they wouldn’t appear if the sun didn’t shine. He likes women; they like him! He’s outgoing, fun-loving, and enjoys being the star of the show. Izzy’s fun-loving and outgoing, too. She also enjoys being the center of attention, and right from the moment he meets her, Diego wouldn’t mind focusing some attention on her. But she’s just not interested. At least, she claims she’s not. She’s not looking for anything serious, and certainly not with a man like Diego. Sure, he’s sexy, and funny … and passionate … and romantic! But he’s also that big macho guy who needs to be in charge, and his ego is even bigger than his … Diego might be a romantic, but she’s not one to get suckered in by hearts and flowers or talk of rainbows and unicorn farts. In her experience, the crock at the end of the rainbow is filled with something other than gold, and she has no desire to go there again.

If you've read the earlier Summer Lake Silver books, then you've already met Russ. He owns the gym. Cal, Manny and Ryan, and a bunch of the other guys in town work out there. Russ is a laid back kind of guy. If you read Milkshakes and Mistletoe - and don't worry if you haven't you don't NEED to, but you might like to - you've already had a glimpse of Alexandria DuPont. She's the CEO of DuPont Wineries, matriarch of the Dupont family. She might not be the kind of woman you'd imagine Russ going for, but I've been asking him for a while how he saw his story going and as soon as he heard about Alexandria, he decided that she was the one for him!
Synopsis:
Russ leads a pretty laid-back life these days. After serving his whole career in the Marine Corps, he came back to the town where he grew up and opened a gym.
He has a great house on the lake, he loves his business and what it does for his clients, and he has a great bunch of friends. Life is good.
Okay, so he doesn’t have a woman. He doesn’t need one. Doesn’t think he’d want one. He’s finally building a real relationship with his daughter. But she’s the only woman he can see in his future.
When Alexandria Dupont walks into the gym, all Russ sees is a stressed-out, aloof woman – but even then, he senses that there’s more to her. Perhaps she’s an acquired taste, like fine wine.
Alexandria Dupont is not in Summer Lake by choice, but of necessity.
Some people might not see it as necessity, but she most certainly does. She’s recuperating. She was rushed into the hospital at home in Napa just before Christmas with a suspected heart attack.
It wasn’t a heart attack. It might almost have been easier to face people if it were. But no, it was an anxiety attack. Her father would turn in his grave! He raised her to be stronger than that.
So, she’s in Summer Lake to recuperate – she’s not hiding out, not really.
She’s supposed to be taking it easy, but she doesn’t know how. She’s the matriarch of Dupont Wineries. She runs the company, it’s what she was raised to do, all she’s ever known.
A trip to the local gym is outside her comfort zone. The attraction she feels toward Russ is even farther outside her comfort zone. As their friendship grows, Russ makes her wonder whether it might be time to leave her comfort zone behind and step into a whole new life.

Cal’s hoping that he’s going to be able to adjust to retirement. He’s not the kind of man who knows how to relax and do nothing. He’s glad to be in Summer Lake with guys he used to work with—guys who’ve already made the transition from covert ops to a more regular kind of life.
His friends have met women and settled down with them, though. And that’s not in the cards for Cal. As far as he’s concerned, the female of the species may as well be a different species.
When he first meets Teresa, she only confirms for him that he has no clue how women operate. But she makes him want to figure it out. She’s a breath of fresh air that he doesn’t know how to handle. She’s very much her own person but before long, she has Cal wanting to figure out how to make her his person.
Teresa’s bowled over by the big, sexy, serious-looking guy who walks into her salon. After a less than auspicious beginning, she’s left disappointed. But not for long.
He might seem serious and a little bit intimidating, but Teresa can see through the tough exterior to the big-hearted guy underneath.
These two might not look like the perfect match on paper. But he makes her feel cared for in a way she never has before. And she brings out his softer side—and his smile, and boy what a smile it is!
Pick up your copy of this heartwarming romance today to follow Cal and Teresa’s journey. You’ll laugh and cry with them as they get a little help from his friends, and from her three-year-old granddaughter on their way to finding their happily-ever-after.

Manny dedicated his life to his work for more than thirty years. He’s not sure what retirement will hold for him—not sure he’ll be able to slow down that much. But he doesn’t need to figure it out all at once.
He’s given himself a month to ease into the transition. He’s rented a house in the lakeside town where some of his friends live. The house isn’t much, but he plans to take good care of it for the widow he’s renting from.
Whenever he’s imagined how his new life might look, the picture has never included a woman. He’s always thought of retirement as riding off into the sunset … alone.
Nina thought the sun had set on her life a couple of years ago when her husband died, leaving her with a pile of debt and a broken heart.
She moved away from the lake for a chance at a fresh start. She even went on a date for the first time. But what she’d hoped might be a bright new beginning is overshadowed when both her safety and her job are threatened.
It’s time for her to go home to Summer Lake—the only trouble is, she just rented out her house.
Manny thinks he’s renting from some old lady. Nina thinks her tenant is some old guy who’s retiring. Neither of them expects to find an intruder in the kitchen in the middle of the night, but when they do …
You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heartwarming romance today to see if these two can overcome what lurks in the shadows and ride off into the sunset together.
