One Autumn at Ril Lake

Julie Wight doesn't like complicated. Her mid-forties, single life is a rhythmic flow of exercise, teaching at the village school, and relaxation in her all-seasoned home on the shores of the tranquil Ril Lake. The most complicated Julie's life gets is deciding which kind of wine she'll drink while watching the sun set over the lake.

But the village has a doctor and with no rental properties available in town the widower Dr. Michael Adams signs a one-year lease on Julie's cottage next door. When he and his three daughters move in, suddenly, for Julie, uncomplicated isn't possible anymore.

What does Joy know that her sisters don't? Why is Faith having nightmares? Who is the woman Hope talks to over the fence at school? And why is Michael Adams reluctant to talk about his past?

Will Julie's desire for a simple life drive her to unravel the mysteries behind Michael's alluring smile or will she break their lease and send them packing, nightmares, secrets and all?
