description: Darek Christiansen is almost a dream bacheloroldest son in the large Christiansen clan heir to their historic Evergreen Lake Resort and doting father. But hes also wounded and angry since the tragic death of his wife Felicity. No woman in Deep Haven dares come near. New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesnt know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service she was releasing the man responsible for Felicitys death. All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family shes always longed for. And once she gets past Dareks tough exterior she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wifes case. Caught between new love and old grudges Darek must decide if he can set aside the past for a future with Ivya future more and more at risk as an approaching wildfire threatens to wipe out the Christiansen resort and Deep Haven itself.
