Helen Lockwood''s boat was found drifting off Sleeping Bear Dunes with no one aboard. A year later, her body was found in a shallow grave on South Manitou Island. She had been in court, fighting with the National Park Service, which was trying to take her family''s four-hundred-acre cherry orchard for the new national park.Burr Lafayette, recently divorced and the deposed head of a major Detroit law firm, had kept the Park Service at bay for seven years. But now Helen''s husband, Tommy, is arrested for her murder. It seems he had been trying to sell the orchards to the Park Service ever since Helen went missing. All of the evidence points to Tommy, but there''s no shortage of suspects.A man at loose ends, Burr is a brilliant litigator who prefers sailboats and dogs over courtrooms and clients. He''s not a criminal lawyer, but he''s convinced there is a clue somewhere that will unlock the truth.

Widow Austen Wiley, unable to spend as much time with her four-year old son, David, as she wanted to, drives from her home in Kansas to a summer job in Nebraska''s panhandle near Chimney Rock. When she arrives, she learns that Mark Thomas, the owner of TrailWays, which provides historical treks on the Oregon Trail, was expecting a man. Perhaps because he and David established an instant bond, he decides to let her stay.There was constant strife between the two, but also an immediate attraction, obvious to everyone. They tried to ignore it because of past experiences, and continued to address each other as Mrs. Wiley and Mr. Thomas, but there were instances when they couldn''t avoid their attraction and it came close to becoming something so much more than "almost" kisses.
