Second Chance Summer

Six years ago, Claire Avery left Sandover without saying goodbye.

She told herself it was the right thing. That she'd heard enough, understood enough, that leaving first was the only kind of dignity available. She drove north to Chicago and built a life that fit well enough, if you didn't look too closely at the foundation.

Now she's back. One summer. Her mother needs her. The inn needs managing. It's temporary.

Except Noah Beckett still runs his charter boats through the channel behind the inn every morning. He still coaches the sailing kids on Sunday. He still says her name like it costs him something. And the coastal town she spent six years trying not to miss is exactly the same as she left it, warm, sun-soaked, filled with the salt air coming off the ocean, and completely indifferent to her careful plans.

Claire came back to Sandover for one summer. She didn't come back to fall in love with the same man twice.

Second Chance Summer is a slow burn coastal romance about the love you left behind, the misunderstanding that cost you everything, and what it means to finally stop running and come home.
