This is book #4 in the Tahoe Series.
Chris Florence's circumstances had never been ideal, but they'd gotten worse after a car accident took the lives of her parents and left her with a kid brother to support. She'd always wondered if she was raising Wesley the way they'd want him to be raised while she juggled waiting tables at a pizza place in South Lake Tahoe with parenting a now teenage brother. She had friends, but their lives were so different from her own, Chris had always felt like she was on the outside looking in.
Paxton Williams only planned to visit her sister, Adler, in South Lake. She was supposed to stay for a few days, check in on her big sister, and return to Seattle. Instead, Paxton finds an old rundown hotel, meets Christina Florence, and her life suddenly has a purpose. She could return to Seattle and remain the owner of her real estate business, or she could take a chance and turn a rundown hotel into the best place to stay in Tahoe and take a chance on the woman that doesn't let her get away with anything.
With the arrival of Paxton, Chris's life turns upside down. It's Chris's decision, though. All those changes, all those feelings could cause Chris pain or could possibly give her the life she'd always dreamed up for herself and her family.
