Dockside by Susan Wiggs
With her daughter grown and flown, Nina Romano is ready to embark on a new adventure. She's waited a long time for dating, travel and chasing dreams. But just as she's beginning to enjoy being on her own, she finds herself falling for Greg Bellamy, owner of the charming Inn at Willow Lake and a single father with two kids of his own. Greg lost his first marriage to a demanding career. Now he's determined to make a new start before it's too late. Juggling work, raising his young son and helping his nearly grown daughter face life's ultimate challenge, he has no time to fall in love. Still, with Nina Romano, love feels just right this time around. From the award-winning author of Summer at Willow Lake and The Winter Lodge comes an unforgettable story of a woman's emotional journey from the heartache of the past to hope for the future.Susan Wiggs's life is all about family, friends...and fiction.
