When Sandra Blake walks in on her husband in flagrante delicto with a younger woman, she checks into a clinic in Lake Placid that promises to cure her life’s ills. Little does she know that the secluded spa hides suspicious goings-ons and characters.

Doug Harrington, the Lake Placid Chief of Police, has seen a lot of strange things among the rich and famous in his little resort town, but even he’s surprised by the events at the ritzy medical spa. The last thing Sandra wants is another charming man in her life. The last thing Doug expects to find is a woman who matches him in intellect, integrity, and compassion. Sandra and Doug
join forces to protect a young girl who witnessed her mother’s
murder and discover miracles can happen in Lake Placid.

Graduate student Levisa Harris is focused on finishing her Master’s
thesis on Baltimore dialects, and only needs one more volunteer to
complete her study.

After a homecoming game, she meets Sam Parker, a handsome man with an
interesting accent. But he’s not interested in being a “guinea pig.” An accounting major from the poor side of town, Sam soon finds out that his "Bawlamerese" is getting in the way of his career.

Swallowing his pride, he agrees to be in Levisa’s study in exchange for free lessons. A dream job at a big accounting firm is within his reach, but only if she can teach him proper speech—in four months! Little does Levisa know that tutoring Sam will lead to passionate private lessons that take her breath away
and teach her heart and body to speak the language of love.

When Polly Griggs receives an eviction notice, she’s devastated and desperate.
Where can she go with twenty-three rescued cats? Old, maimed, and crippled,
they were abandoned and she was the only person willing to take them in. Her drunken landlord can’t wait to get rid of
her and harasses Polly at every
opportunity. Little does she know that her academic advice to her handsome neighbor and secret crush, Simon, on how to succeed in his speech class will lead to her own escue—and love.
