From a bestselling author, a dating novice falls for the retired athlete next door in this romance novel that's perfect for fans of Sheila Roberts and Debbie Mason. On the outside, Amanda Riverswood has it all: a fun career in interior design, a lakeside cottage in her Michigan hometown, and a close-knit group of friends. But she's thirty-two-years old and has never had a boyfriend. So this summer, Amanda decides she's going to go on a bunch of blind dates.  Dominic Gage was a star baseball pitcher—until a detached retina sent him into early retirement. Not long afterward, his wife walked out of their marriage. Now, at an all-time low, he’s learning to settle into his new life in the small town of Heart Lake.  When Dom accidentally damages Amanda's dock and offers to fix it, he gets into a habit of eavesdropping on her hilarious series of dates. As they bond over late night laughter and conversations, it's not long before there's more than friendship between them. Could a casual fling between neighbors be what they both need to get over their issues–or will it only risk their hearts? Bestselling author Sarah Robinson is a native of the Washington, DC, area and has both her bachelors and masters degrees in criminal and clinical psychology.
