Misty Mornings by Jessie Gussman

As they agreed on the night of their high school graduation, Laiklyn and her two friends, Tiffany and Willen meet on the porch of the Manor at Blueberry Beach on April Fool’s day, eighteen years after being given their diplomas.
Life hadn’t turned out as expected for any of them.
A single mother for fifteen years, Laiklyn recently lost her job in HR for an oil company and her unemployment is running out.
Could the manor she and her friends bought for $1 at a tax sale in celebration of graduation be the change she needs to move forward in her life?
Or will it just complicate things when she finds out the explosive secret her fifteen-year-old daughter is hiding?
When she finds out that her old high school crush – and the only one who knows her most terrible secret – now owns the hardware store and will be working closely with them on renovations, Laiklyn must choose whether she wants to start over somewhere else, or whether the draw of spending misty mornings by the lake with a man who understands her all too well is worth the risk to her heart.
