That Last Summer

Old scars still sting. Old desires still burn. One summer on Whispering Pines Island could either mend their hearts—or break them for good.

Cara O'Connell returns to Whispering Pines Island hoping the familiar inn will give her a fresh start. Still reeling from an abusive relationship, she hides her pain behind late-night drinks but can't silence the lingering voice that tells her she'll never be enough.

Sam Vervaine knows that voice all too well. Haunted by traumas of his own, his greatest regret is the way things ended with Cara last summer. Now that she's back—and single—Sam is determined to prove he can be the steady friend she needs...even while his heart wants more.

As Cara and Sam are drawn together, old hurts collide with the promise of something new. But between unspoken secrets and one mistake that could ruin everything, the path to love won't be simple. On Whispering Pines Island, though, second chances have a way of finding those brave enough to reach for them.
