Description

*** Formerly published in 2016 by St. Martin’s Press under the title SHE’S GOT A WAY. This book has been extensively revised from the original. *** “A new, witty voice in contemporary romance. Maggie McGinnis is gonna make you smile.”―Christie Craig, New York Times bestselling author USA TODAY® Bestselling author Maggie McGinnis welcomes us back to Echo Lake, Vermont for an opposites-attract story between two people who think they couldn’t be more different … until a team of scheming teenagers set out to prove them wrong. Gabriela O’Brien is supposed to be on a plane to a long-awaited Barbados vacation, where she’d planned to sip margaritas on a cushioned chaise by the sea for a blissful, breezy two weeks, using sea air and alcohol to recover from a long year of playing substitute parent and full-time counselor to her Briarwood Academy students. Instead, she’s navigating a van full of miscreant teenagers to a desolate summer camp on the shores of Echo Lake, Vermont, where they’ve been sentenced to live for a month because the teens stole the school van and hightailed it out of town a week ago, and the headmaster decided it was Gabriela’s fault. When Luke Magellan watches the BMW van pull into the deserted parking lot of Camp Echo, he braces himself to face a nightmare. Up until this year, Camp Echo’s been home to hundreds of troubled boys every summer, in programs designed to turn them around and prove the world gives a damn how they turn out. But now rich-as-sin Briarwood Academy has bought the property, and given the list of updates they want made, it’s clear they’re going to turn it into yet another lakeside paradise for the rich and famous. Last summer, he was directing lives. This year, he’s a camp handyman putting in a performance stage and showers. And now he’s dealing with a van full of surprise guests who will no doubt be expecting better accommodations than the tents and outhouse he has to offer. Oh, this is going to be fun.
