Sun, sand and starting over . . . this summer, they're following their hearts

Bree Rhodes and Jill Kelly have been best friends since kindergarten. When Bree survives a cancer scare, the knitting shop assistant takes it as a sign to step out of her comfort zone . . . or at least take a few tentative tiptoes. But in no time, she's in over her head with a hot architect, a new puppy and a shot at buying her dream inn. And the harder she tries to stay afloat in her new normal, the harder it is to hold onto her friendship with Jill, who seems to be ebbing away.

While her best friend is living her best life, art boutique owner, Jill, is simply trying to live. Still struggling after a freak motorcycle accident took the life of her husband, Jill doesn't know how to start over - or if she even wants to. Life isn't easy as a young widow, especially when she's hiding a painful secret. When she learns that the fairy-tale Maine cottage she'd once dreamed of buying with her husband is on the market, she must decide whether she's ready to let go of the past and to begin a new chapter. But the only way to really heal is by revealing to Bree a truth that will either bring them closer together or destroy their friendship forever.

Fans of Jill Shalvis, Susan Mallery and Robyn Carr will love this charming, relatable, laugh-out-loud women's fiction read about letting go of the past, taking a chance on love and embracing life under the summer sun.
