Three sisters, a fading final summer at the Blue Canoe, and a bombshell buyer—Lake Whippoorwill doesn't do quiet goodbyes.
Eldest Pelletier sister Lark is the one who holds it all together... until she can't. Fresh off a divorce and grieving both parents, she returns to the Blue Canoe Cottage with her young daughter, Nova, determined to clear out the century-old family retreat before its inevitable sale and finally move forward. But the lake has a way of rewinding time, especially when Aidan—her best friend of thirty years—slips back into her days like he never left. Lark has always known exactly where she stands with him. Lately, her heart doesn't seem to agree. The complication? Aidan already belongs to someone else.
Enter Donovan, an intriguing potential buyer who throws down a shocking offer Lark can't ignore—and a story that shakes the very foundation of everything she holds true. Much to her dismay, he insists the Blue Canoe was never the Pelletiers' to sell in the first place.
With her sister's backyard wedding racing closer, a stolen kiss she can't undo, and a roof that chooses the worst possible moment to cave in, Lark digs in to protect her family's legacy. But the deeper she investigates, the more personal the stakes become, and the sabbatical she hoped would bring closure starts to feel more like the beginning of something she never quite planned for.
