Mystic Lake

Kelly Barrett wants to be a writer, but she is stuck in a loveless marriage while struggling to be recognized as a children’s book author. Her life is spiraling out of control: the house is falling apart and Virgil is distant and doesn’t take care of her needs. To escape, she finds some small comfort reading her stories to children at the library.

Until the day handsome contractor Doug Carlton walked in the door.

Doug Carlton is not just any handy man; he’s also compassionate and well connected. Kelly suddenly finds avenues opening for her that were closed ever since Virgil put that ring on her finger. Even as Doug fixes the walls of her house, he is slowly breaking down the walls around Kelly’s heart.
