When her sister swoops in with an unexpected job offer, Kate is in no place to turn it down. Evening if it means living in the middle of nowhere all by herself for the next few years. Kate packs up her life in Vegas and moves to northern Washington to become the property manager of her brother-in-law's newly inherited lake house. What starts out as a simple job quickly turns into so much more.

With every day that passes, Kate discovers more and more secrets hidden within the lake house. It doesn't take long for her to realize that she might not be the only person living on the lake.
