When you've lost nearly everything, can you trust enough to put your heart on the line?
Sam Halvorsen has had it with men: from the clients who doubt her skills as a fly fishing guide to the guys who run the local angling shop and the patrons of the bar she works at in the evenings, life is a parade of sexism. When she takes academic librarian Graham Evans out on the water, she naturally expects the worst from him.
But Graham confounds her expectations. Unassuming and sweet, he genuinely respects her skills and knowledge. Having just lost his father, he also understands something about Sam's deep well of grief and fear of abandonment after the death of the grandmother who raised her.
With that understanding comes attraction, passion, and for Sam, the love of a man who sees exactly who she is. His adorable dog is a bonus.
But then a letter arrives, shattering Sam's confidence when an unexpected inheritance also brings new and devastating truths about the people she trusted most.
Having finally found the woman he can love forever, will Graham lose her in a torrent of family secrets and lies?
