"Thank you, but no."

Madison had no choice but to politely turn Ryan down when he asked her out. Her instant attraction to his stunning steel blue eyes, though tempting, didn't make any difference. Madison wouldn't waste time dating out of towners. There was a lot on her plate. She ran a successful café in lakes country. Her dream of building a lakeside wedding venue was about to come true.

Still, something was missing. Grandma Mabel said she worked too hard. Grandpa Don said she should find someone to fancy. Madison wasn't sure she should follow their advice. Hard work kept her heartache at bay.

Ryan needed to get away from his job in commercial real estate. His uncle and aunt's 50^th wedding anniversary was the perfect excuse to take a vacation at Cloud Lake. He stopped in the Sunflower Café looking for lunch, not to fall in love, but something about Madison intrigued him. He wanted to get to know her.

In a search for true happiness, Ryan was willing to give up his lucrative career and his relationship with his father. He never imagined that in chasing his dreams he could also lose his heart.
