Second Chance Summer: A Heartfelt Small-Town Coastal Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998751396)

Six years ago, she left in the dark without saying goodbye. This summer, she has to face the boy she left behind.

At twenty-one, Claire Avery ran. She told herself she was leaving before Noah Beckett could tell her she was only ever the hometown girl he'd outgrow. So, she packed a car in the dark and drove eight hundred miles to a life in Chicago that never quite felt like home.

Now her mother is sick, the family inn might be sold, and Claire is back in Sandover for one summer to save the only place that ever felt like hers.

But Noah is still here.

Older now. Steadier. Running his charter boats off the same docks where they grew up, quietly looking out for her mother the whole time she was gone. He's the one person she could never be any good at not needing, and he's spent six years not knowing what he did to make her leave.

One summer. One second chance. And one truth she's been running from since the night she left.
