Lola, who is working on a novel, and Harry, who is getting over a breakup, are sent to a lake house owned by their friends--who are going through a divorce--for the summer.

When Lola Dunne's friend offers the use of her summer home overlooking Lake Haven, the aspiring writer sees the chance to focus on herself for a change. Engineer Harry Westbrook is waiting for his ship to come in... and nursing a heartache... when his pal extends an invite to his lake house in East Beach. When it turns out that their friends are a divorcing, not-on-speaking-terms couple sparring over the same house, the strangers find themselves accidental (and reluctant) roommates for the summer. They agree to make the best of it. As the ruse starts to feel real, are they brave enough to reveal their feelings before the summer nights turn cold?
