Three years have passed since Joelle Gordon came home to Landon, Minnesota, following her heart back to her family of women and their little cafe on Flickertail Lake. Joelle, her sister, Jillian, and herdaughter Camille have grown closer through the shared heartaches and passionate loves they have found since that first summer.

Now the Shore Leave Cafe is again basking under the brilliant June sunshine, and this summer promises to be hotter than ever.

Jillian is pregnant with her third child, but her happy life is threatened by both Justin's ex-wife and a frightening stranger who arrives unexpectedly at the lake. Camille, plagued by dreams of a girl with haunted eyes, cannot shake her fear of losing Mathias. A journey into the mountain country of Montana is where she counts on finding answers--or will her actions only fulfill the Davis family curse?
