Love isn't a game... or is it? Melissa Hendrickson is tired of being a good sport, one of the guys. She wants to find love and settle down in Lilac Lake with the man of her dreams. She thinks she's found the man, but he doesn't know she exists. After she runs into Ross Roberts, her next door neighbor and former professional baseball player, during a charity softball game, he requires her help. She's more than eager to make amends for causing him to have knee surgery. Then, a fire destroys her family restaurant and her job as chef there. She's forced to think about a lot of changes in her life, including finding the right man for her. A spinoff book from the Lilac Lake Inn series, a sweet second-chance, small-town romance. Another of Judith Keim's books with strong women facing challenges and finding love and happiness along the way.
