There are certain things that annoy Ian Flynn to no end - children, dogs, old women, and a woman with an agenda. He unwittingly placed himself smack in the middle of all of them. And to make matters worse, Lucy Mitchell's latest agenda is to rid Butternut Creek of him. Not that it mattered, she wasn't going to get her way. Just as he was preparing to allow her to flex her powers of persuasion, a tragedy turns his world upside down.
Moonlight Bay Camp for Kids is Lucy Mitchell's safe haven. Now that haven was being threatened and she wasn't about to stand still for it. But what could a small town girl do against big city money and a big city ego? Turns out, quite a bit.
But only time and rude-awakenings would seal the fate of all of them.

Excerpt
Lucy took a step toward him and pointed a finger at his chest. "This isn't over, Flynn, not by a long shot." To Mrs. Duncan, she said, "There's got to be a way out of this mess and I promise I'll find it." With that she blew out of the room with the screen door banging and her threats echoing through the rafters of the old log structure.
Ian angled his head to watch her storm down the path among the pine trees. Her feet were moving so fast that she was sending up tiny clouds of dust in her wake. Her ponytail danced in syncopation over the part of her back exposed by the tank top, and her cute little behind pumped nicely over long, tanned legs protruding from navy shorts.
Interesting woman, for someone with nothing better to do than swim with children all day. Obviously, she needed adult attention.
Once the dust settled, Mrs. Duncan returned to her chair. "Oh my, I was afraid of that. Lucy, and God knows I love her, has quite the temper."
A grin spread over Ian's features. That had been refreshing. She'd called him pompous. Self-serving. Well, maybe, but Lucy Mitchell didn't pose a threat to him or to Northland Progression in the least. Of course, it would be interesting if she tried. This place might not be such a bore after all.
