The closest thing to a romantic relationship eighteen-year-old Marley Anderson has ever experienced is kissing her precious Labrador puppy. She's just not the kind of girl to easily become caught up in a young relationship that is destined to fail. Besides, she's considered a girl with baggage--one of her brothers was tragically killed, and she's still coping with the ramifications of the shocking loss.
Spending the summer in Northern Michigan provides her with an escape from the pain; it offers a distraction from the frustrations consuming her life. Not only does the peaceful environment offer comfort, but also an unexpected friendship with her new neighbor, Sam Hamilton, that allows her to expose the heavy emotions she's been containing for an entire year.
This summer, everything changes.

Summer Changes
For most eighteen year olds, the summer after high school graduation means getting in some last minute fun before going off to college and beginning a new chapter in life. For me, it was going to be like every other summer since I'd become old enough to work. I'd be behind the counter of my Aunt Paula's lakeside Bakery, Paula's Pies, where I'd probably be stuck working for the rest of my life. I'd applied for college scholarships, but had been rejected and my Aunt said she couldn't afford to pay for it. She was the only family I had left. So I was stuck or at least I thought I was. As it turned out, that's the summer my life changed forever.Complete

Upon moving, it goes without saying that this town is smaller, and stranger than she remembered.

What happens when the girl who's sworn off relationships, falls in love with the one man who isn't afraid to break apart the walls she's built? ............

Add in an infuriating and devilishly handsome new boss to the mix, things are bound to get a whole lot more interesting in her life. Ethan Thomas is a straight shooter who knows what he wants, and isn't afraid to show it. He's got his eyes set on the feisty blonde, and he's made it his mission to show her love isn't hopeless. From their first wild night together, both Ethan and McKenzie felt the intense and undeniable attraction between them. The closer these two get and the more vulnerable they become, they have to wonder if there's more to their encounters than steamy passion. One thing's for sure, and that's that sparks will fly and hearts will be mended. ~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\ "What is it you want, McKenzie?" He demands, his lips on my neck nibbling and kissing their way up to my earlobe. His hand trails down my skin until it finally reaches the lace material separating my pussy from his fingers. Still staring intently into my eyes, he slowly moves the lace material aside and dips into my hot and ready core. I bit down on my lip, attempting to suppress my moans. This only motivates him to push deeper. His fingers begin to move rhythmically inside of me, pushing me over the edge. "I want you!" I finally release, fully giving into him.
