By February in New England, everyone’s just plain ‘gettin’ busy’ because they’re sick of winter. When a fog of romance settles over Moorewicks Bay, June Faust discovers the twinkle scape isn’t confined to couples. The townsfolk blush giddy when a developer strolls into town selling dreams, the local 'nose for news' pulls her chair up close when she catches the scent of a mysterious discovery under June’s estate, and the annual Sweetheart Dinner at The Admiral Inn attracts more than Cupid.Between off-season renovations above ground, compounding lies below ground, and a swindler downtown, June and her staff are preparing to open for the new season when one more suitor comes to call. Both Ramone, the Director, and Ramone, the man, are incensed by June's secret admirer, but not enough, it seems, to step both feet over her threshold.She knows Ramone must come to see her as more than a construct of his unrequited love if he hopes to transition to The Admiral Inn. Conversely, June needs to find a way to protect her town without them ever really seeing her at all. And since she can’t rewrite the past, she must find a way to bend the perceptions of a crime boss just enough to keep her people, and herself, safe.While the fat cherub empties his quiver, June finds herself risking her future with Ramone (and more than a little pride), to pry him away from his job. In her attempt to save the good townsfolk from themselves, she inadvertently places The Admiral Inn and its staff on the line. But ultimately, June discovers the attentions of a cold mastermind will hurt much more than a measly arrow through the heart.
