If it looks like she’s running away from her soon-to-be ex, Wes, and New York City, well, she is. But someone has to take care of things and that’s always been Olivia’s role in the family. After years of financial trouble, someone’s finally bailing them out with a huge offer to buy their beachfront property, which is a good thing, although it means losing the home she grew up in, where her mother died, and where she first met Fred, the love of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s been five years since the last time things blew up between Olivia and Fred, but much longer since the first time. At this point, Olivia fears it was  never meant to be, so there’s no reason to feel butterflies in her stomach at the idea of seeing him again. They’ve already tried, and tried again…and again…but she’s newly single, and she isn’t the same person she was the last time–and  Fred has changed too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis time, things will be different. Maybe, just maybe, the fifth time’s the charm.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSummer After Summer\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Impressive debut . . .

A charming story of tennis dreams, a beloved beach house in the Hamptons, and second chances, \u003ci\u003eSummer After Summer\u003c\/i\u003e is a romantic, delightful read.” \u003cbr\u003e—Heather Webb, \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eStrangers in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book is going to be a hit next summer because it’s an absolutely perfect summer read. Olivia and Fred keep swinging into each other’s orbits, but fate is meddlesome and for some inexplicable reason or another, the timing is never right for these two. They obviously love each other deeply, but their flaws, fears, and circumstances intervene summer after summer. It’s all the hearts: breaking, wrenching, and warming. And that twist! It’s subtly woven throughout the narrative and makes for quite a dramatic ending. Retellings can be hit or miss, but for me, this modern-day retelling of \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e is fully on the mark. A wonderfully plotted, fast, romantic read I found thoroughly entertaining and engaging.”\u003cbr\u003e—Kerry Lonsdale, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eSide Trip\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEverything We Keep\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An excellent going-home novel full of absorbing characters, twists you’ll never see coming, and page after page of fantastic writing.
