Official synopsis Publisher
“The Thursday night book club is back! As all the members join Tess at her book shop, talk turns from this month’s selection to the mayor’s plan to expand a local park. While it sounds good in theory, it requires the local cafe to relocate from its wonderful location on the lakefront, and it’s hard to be in favor of that. Tess’s best friend, Moira, is a member of the book club, of course, and she’s determined to lead the charge against the new plan. But the book club members exchange looks because Moira always seems to have a beef with the mayor. They think that she might protest too much. Gil Ryan is proud to be the mayor of Somerset Lake. He grew up here and loves the friendly, down-to-earth people and the natural beauty of the place. So when a proposal comes up to expand a lakeside park, he supports it. Even if it requires the tough choice of relocating a popular local business. And even if someone he secretly cares a great deal about is in direct opposition to the plan. Even while at odds, everywhere that Moira turns, Gil is there, trying to win her over. But she’s beginning to suspect that he’s not just debating local politics. He’s also trying to win her heart”–
