A Dreamy Summer on the Lake

Can an escape to the mountains mend her broken heart?

Heartbroken and humiliated, Emma Tremayne has finally escaped from her high-powered PR job. Moving to the Lake District to enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet, she finds herself instead in the path of local mountain rescuer Will Tennant.

Emma only wants to be community-minded when she agrees to help the mountain rescue team raise funds for their new headquarters. Unfortunately, the locals, including the extremely handsome Will, don't look too kindly on outsiders. Can Emma convince Will that he has the wrong idea about her intentions, or will her leap of faith soon lead to a sharp fall . . .?
