No way is Izzy Gordon going back to her ten-year reunion as a lowly traffic manager—not when she’d always insisted she’d end up a filmmaker. She’s determined to make her dream a reality by creating a documentary about the gangster history of an old lodge in Wisconsin. The project should be easy because the land’s been in her family for a hundred years.

There’s just one snag—her family wants to sell the property, the lodge owners want to stay open, and developers are vying for control of the lakefront acreage. So Izzy decides it’s best not to tell anyone who she really is, especially not Gib Murphy, the globe-trotting photojournalist who’s helping his grandparents fight to keep the lodge.

Too bad she’s falling for Gib and the feelings are mutual, because what happens when he discovers her charade and she has to confess her real identity?
