That Last Summer by Sara LaFontain

They have one last summer to change the rest of their lives…

Last year Cara O’Connell was weighted down by an engagement ring she never wanted, trapped in an abusive relationship that ended in tragedy. She’s still fighting her guilt and grief, but she’s ready to move on. There’s always been someone else, a co-worker with vivid blue eyes and a smile that makes her weak. When she returns to her summer job running the Inn on Whispering Pines, she wants to tell him how she feels, but can she stand up to the voice in her head that keeps holding her back?

Sam Vervaine has always been a bit of a drifter, chasing seasonal jobs and refusing to settle down. Whispering Pines Island is the only place that’s ever come close to feeling like home, but he can’t face returning there, not after spending all last summer staring at another man’s diamond ring on the finger of the woman he loved. But when a blog post reveals that she’s single, he decides to give himself one last chance at happiness.

Love takes time. Will one summer be long enough?
