Synopsis: Can One Summer Change Your Life Forever? For the past ten years, Vera Van Loon has been beating the city heat at her friend’s idyllic lakeside guest cabin. There, she’s Aunt Loony to Kit Garrett’s teenagers, a kayaker instead of a straphanger-and a million miles away from the complications of "real” life in Manhattan. If only she didn’t have to alternate weekends with one of the Garretts’ relatives, everything would be perfect-until she discovers the truth: "Uncle” Cyrus is hardly the man she thought he was. He’s just her type, wildly appealing-and a worthy Scrabble opponent. All of a sudden, everything is perfect...until Labor Day. Because Cyrus prefers the rural life, and Vera could never give up New York. Back in town, a chance encounter with a seductive local convinces her she’s where she belongs-but Cyrus has other ideas. With choices, and crises, coming from all directions, it’s time for Vera to make a life-or-life decision that will be anything but a day at the beach. .
