When Lexi Beaumont refuses to marry the man of her grandfather's choosing, she is banished from her home and stripped of all her belongings. Being abandoned by the manipulative and selfish man who raised her is not especially traumatic-she's been looking for a way to leave her grandfather's home, and was grateful for the college education he provided. What she wasn't prepared for was her grandfather's attempt to sabotage her efforts at finding a job, nor did she realize he'd hired a man to spy on her. Needing to regroup, Lexi and her best friend flee to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believing it would be one place her grandfather would not look. She discovers a sweet path to financial security with the help of the supportive and handsome neighbor, who is also new to Havasu. What she doesn't know is that he's been hired by her grandfather.
