About the Book:
Paperback
Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, and just as many love stories.
Love in the Land of Lakes brings you seventeen of these stories, from two childhood sweethearts connecting on the end of a dock on a warm summer's evening, to a city boy's chaotic weekend at his girlfriend's primitive cabin.
We bring you the story of a savvy horse who leads her owner to love in post–Civil War farm country, and the haunting romance of an ageless gambler who inhabits a historic riverboat and charms the boat's new owner.
Sunshine, snowstorms, and thunderstorms punctuate our contemporary, mystery, historical, and paranormal stories as the Midwest Fiction Writers spin lovely romances that will send you drifting into happily ever afters.
