Summer is a busy season at the inn, so proprietor Jo Marie Rose and handyman Mark Taylor have spent a lot of time together keeping the property running. Despite some folks? good-natured claims to the contrary, Jo Marie insists that Mark is only a friend. However, she seems to be thinking about this particular friend a great deal lately. Jo Marie knows surprisingly little about Mark?s life, due in no small part to his refusal to discuss it. She?s determined to learn more about his past, but first she must face her own? and welcome three visitors who, like her, are setting out on new paths.
