Sizzle

Eben James keeps his life orderly as an accountant on the shores of Lake Champlain, where the days are quiet and predictable. That routine is upended when Summer Hudson arrives for the summer. Impulsive and striking, with golden hair, she pulls him toward the idea that magic might exist, sharing stories of fortune-telling and the lake's legendary creature, Champ.

Summer persuades Eben to join her evening vigils at the water's edge, watching the surface for signs of the monster. Eben considers the hunt a waste of time, yet her company and her kisses prove impossible to resist. Their growing closeness raises a question at the heart of the story: can Summer's love add color to Eben's careful life and make his certainties last?
