Clara Landry hates her job. When her boss informs her she needs to transfer to The Cities from her office at Lake Michigan she decides it's a good time to quit and to start her dream business selling her art at a small artisan shop in Strawberry Sands. The decision would be a no-brainer, except she's been in love with her boss for years. But he doesn't know and wouldn't be interested in her. Getting out is the best choice.

Alexander Hudson has become a ultra successful businessman, making millions with his investments and shrewd business sense. He pretty much raised himself since his parents were in and out of his life. He determined at a young age to "make something of himself" and break the cycle. What he's found is that he's not any happier at the top than he was while he was on the bottom. The one ray of sunshine in his life is his administrative assistant, Clara Landry, and she's just informed him that she's quitting.

Alexander doesn't want to lose her.

So he follows her to Strawberry Sands, and what he finds there will change his life forever.
