If he finds out who she is, all bets are off.

Face her ten-year reunion as a lowly traffic manager? No way. Izzy Gordon is going to realize her dream of becoming a filmmaker. Her documentary about an old Wisconsin lodge and its gangster history is sure to be a winner. And she’s got an ace up her sleeve, since her family owns the land.

Too bad this film drops her into a brewing feud. Seems her family wants to sell the property and the lodge owners are fighting to stay open. They’ve drafted Gib Murphy — globe-trotting photojournalist and prodigal grandson — to stack their hand. Wow. Could this get worse?  Apparently it could, because she’s developing a thing for Gib…one he’s returning. So at what point does her bluff get called and she has to confess her real identity?A
