Katia Stanislaus is a top insurance agent in Chicago, but her company is about to fold if she can't pull off a miracle. She convinces her boss to relocate to Indian Lake where she lived as a child and broke the heart of the one man whose account would be enough to save her job and her company. The only problem is that Austin McCreary has been a near recluse since the day Katia left him. Austin won't take her calls and appears set on revenge for the pain Katia has caused him. Just seeing Austin, catapaults Katia back to the time when she was 16 and so very much in love. But it was just a teenage crush, wasn't it?
Katia works for an insurance agency in Chicago and she's working hard to become a partner. However, the company is getting ready to fold and she needs to think of something fast in order to save it, and her job. She learns that her high school crush, Austin McCreary, is back in Indian Lake, a town that's not too far away, and is planning to build a museum. Insuring that will save their company and elevate her status as a future partner. She's able to convince Jack to relocate. Now she just needs to convince Austin to become her client, but the problem she faces is that she broke Austin's heart and she's not sure how he will react to seeing her again.
Katia is sweet and as we learn more of her story, it's understandable why she left all those years ago. Austin is still hurting and needs to decide if he can forgive her. Either way, they both need to heal their relationship and move on, whether it's together or apart. They each have their flaws and there are definitely issues for them to work through.
I was in the mood for this kind of book. I love second chances and this one didn't disappoint! Once I picked this up, I just couldn't put it down. This is the fourth book in the Shores of Indian Lake series, and I haven't read the first three. While I'm sure I would have enjoyed reading about some of the couples from the previous books, I didn't feel like I was missing anything so this is great as a stand alone read. After having read it, though, I want to go back and read the other books in this series!
My Rating=5 Stars
