Refuge at Pine Lake
By Rose Chandler Johnson
Christian Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 384 Pages
March 6th 2019 by Chanson Books
Robin Lancaster, a twenty-six-year-old former kindergarten teacher, has her summer and her life all figured out. She’s ready to be on her own, writing and illustrating her children’s stories at her family’s beloved lake house. Once there, she intends to rekindle a romance with Caleb Jackson, the area’s top hunting and fishing guide, and bag him for herself.
Complications arise from the start when Robin finds out her mother has rented the lake house to a man they know nothing about.
Matthew McLaughlin, forty-year-old widowed university professor and author from California, shows up at Pine Lake in crisis. A sabbatical might be his only hope to save much more than his career. He needs a place of refuge. Sharing the lake house with a lighthearted young woman and her dog is the last thing on his mind.
Caleb Jackson has his own plans. He’s used to things going his way, but a man staying in Robin’s house presents unforeseen challenges. When paths unavoidably tangle for these three, hearts are on the line.
Excerpt:
After closing the door noiselessly behind her, they headed down to the lakeshore.
Robin allowed her face to scrunch in perplexed bafflement. “Good grief. What have I gotten myself into?” She retied her shoes while the dog relieved herself. “He’s tied in knots, poor guy. He needs rest and relaxation.”
A gentle breeze had picked up across the lake. The well-beaten path, about ten feet from the water’s edge, meandered around the point of the cove for a mile or so and ended at a manmade beach. Due to its secluded location and the Private Property signs, rarely did anyone stop there except its residents. She walked faster as she neared the beach, her mood lifting with each step. When her feet sank into the soft sand, she slowed again. Callie tugged impatiently, so she unsnapped the leash.
Three picnic tables stood under the trees at the back edge of the clearing. Robin sat on a bench and watched Callie play. As her mood adjusted to the rhythm of the place, thoughts of Caleb filled her imagination. In only a few more days, she would see him again. His handsome face came to mind. He’d promised to call her as soon as he returned from the fishing tournament.
Butterflies filled her stomach, and sweet anticipation rose within her. Summer vacation had begun.
Oh, wow, she thought with a smile. My future starts now.
