After her marriage disintegrates, spitfire Polly North escapes - against her better judgement - to a familiar cabin in the north woods.
She didn't count on an old crush, a new profession, a goofy dog, and an endless supply of Merlot being the way to heal her heart.
From the unspoiled shoreline of Lake Superior, Polly will find herself, find love, and do battle with potential man-eating coyotes.
Really.
This romance is filled with snappy one-liners, relatable but witty characters, romance, and a glimpse into the beautiful coast of the Upper Peninsula.
