Where Our Summer Began Again: A Small-Town Second-Chance Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247726784)

A small-town second-chance romance filled with heat, heart, and a hero who chooses love out loud.

Luke Carter left town with nothing but ambition - and one regret he never confessed. Lily Mercer was his best friend, his almost-love, the one woman who could have changed his path. He walked away instead.

Years later he returns - stronger, successful, and determined to build a real future by the lake where their story first began. Seeing Lily again is supposed to be simple.

It isn't.

The attraction between them reignites instantly - deeper, hotter, impossible to ignore. What begins as reunion turns into something fiercely intimate and emotionally real. But when past family damage and high-stakes business pressure collide, Lily fears she will become the cost of Luke's success.

She won't be anyone's sacrifice.
Luke won't lose her twice.

Where Our Summer Began Again is a classic-tone contemporary romance featuring childhood friends to lovers, small-town setting, open-door sensual heat, strong protective hero energy, and a decisive emotional happy ending.
