Overview

Betrayed by her girlfriend and abruptly unemployed, art teacher and historian Devan Scott decides there’s no place like home. Washington State’s refreshing blue rivers and peaceful green forests are just what she needs.

The people are friendly too. Especially Kelly Carpenter—so intense and playful that Devan might be frightened if she weren’t so breathless. Gym owner Alex Bouldin is sweet, kind, funny and smart, but Devan isn’t going to believe those pretty flowers and white picket fence feelings. Not this time.

Can a woman rediscover what really makes her happy?
