Book Blurb

She inherited a lake house and a rulebook for surviving it. She never planned on falling for the woman she was supposed to share it with.

Camille Rowan has spent six years keeping Pinewater Lodge alive — six years of leaking roofs, missed vacations, and quietly becoming indispensable to a place that was never legally hers. When the resort's owner dies and leaves half the property to a granddaughter who hasn't set foot on the grounds in a decade, Camille braces for a stranger to undo everything she's built.

Sloane Barrett isn't planning to stay. She's a working photographer with a life three time zones away from the lake she swore she'd never come back to — and a family history here she'd rather not excavate. But the will comes with conditions: hit a revenue target by summer's end, or lose Pinewater to developers, for good.

One impossible summer. One resort to save. Two women who agree, very sensibly, to a strictly no-strings arrangement — no dating, no promises, no discussing what happens in September — because the alternative is far too dangerous to name.

It doesn't stay simple for long.

Between sunset suppers, summer storms, and a wedding season that keeps throwing them into each other's orbit, Camille and Sloane discover that the hardest thing either of them has ever done isn't saving a family business. It's learning to stay — in one place, with one person — long enough to find out what's actually worth keeping.

What We Keep is a slow-burn sapphic romance about inheritance, found family, and choosing home on purpose. Perfect for readers who love small-town romance, opposites-attract chemistry, a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
