The Summer After (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736725832)

The summer after the loss of their spouses, Juliet and Dean meet over their children's sandcastle friendships on a remote beach in the Cayman Islands. Love blooms among the hibiscus. But as they navigate tentative steps out of grief, it becomes clear that neither has come to the island simply for fun in the sun.

Mysterious emails from the States, an accident involving Dean's oldest son, and hazy memories from a night most of Rum Point would like to forget threaten the escapist summer life their families are building. When an approaching hurricane forces Juliet and Dean to choose if they will evacuate to separate lives, secrets threaten not only their new relationship, but everyone's safety.

With the storm approaching, Juliet and Dean confront their ghosts to answer the question-is the greatest tragedy the loves they have lost, or the risk of losing everything they have just found? They must overcome dark shadows of their pasts and fight for a second chance at happiness.
