Art professor Anita Delgado spends eleven months of the year working. July is her month to cut loose, paint, and pick a guy to make the summer memorable. But this year she isn't in a tropical location with an exotic man like she'd planned. She's stuck in small-town USA dealing with a lake house she doesn't want, inherited from a grandmother she never knew. A summer fling might be the only thing to get her through the next few weeks.
Salvage specialist Noah Colburn is running for mayor. If he doesn't, an absolute idiot is going to ruin his beloved town. So he's stepping up. It's what he does -- with his teenage daughters, with the family business, and now with Lakeside. But when the newest resident of the town asks him to renovate her grandmother's house -- and have a four-week fling -- he's tempted. Tempted to step out of the mold and take just one thing for himself. But the gossip mill in the town is notorious.
Anita's learning it's hard to have a fling when the town follows your every move, and it's even harder when the July guy makes it clear one month is never going to be enough…
