Summer Lake Heat: An Edgewood Lake Romance by Synthia Stone

She thought losing her art teaching position was her lowest point. Nope, laying a sizzling kiss on her new boss in the elevator at their first important work event beat that by a mile. Derek Nash—divorced and happily single CEO of DN Home Co. and son of ruthless billionaire Jack Nash—isn’t easily overwhelmed. Until he meets a beautiful young artist who fascinates and challenges him. He offers her a PR job, one that doesn’t even exist, just to spend more time with her. Then that kiss. Falling for Summer is sure to turn his carefully constructed world upside down. Summer Taylor desperately wants to make this career move a successful one, but there’s one thing that’s standing in her way—she’s insanely attracted to Derek. He’s an unconventional CEO who’s artistic and more comfortable in jeans and workboots. He’s got some trust issues, though. Is a love affair with the boss worth risking her career? If you love small-town workplace romances with slow-burn steamy sweetness, beautiful locales, and low angst, this is the romance for you! Summer Lake Heat is the first book in the Edgewood Lake Romance series, though it can be read as a standalone.
