I came to fix up a house, not fall for my next door neighbor.

Renovating my late husband’s lake house was meant to be a project. A distraction. A way to figure out my next step now that my kids are grown.

What I didn’t expect? Jake Hollis.

Local handyman. Town fixer. And the man I accidentally attacked with a flying board. Oops.

He’s quiet, rugged, and way too tempting for a man who only communicates in nods and smirks.

He’s steady where I’m scattered, thoughtful where I’m impulsive.

And the way he looks at me? Let’s just say, it’s been a long time since anyone’s looked at me like that.

This summer was supposed to be temporary...but what if Blue Alder Cove—and Jake—feel like home?

The Summer I Stayed is a small town, later in life, clean romantic comedy. It only contains sweet kisses and is free from profanity. It promises a satisfying conclusion (no cliffhangers) and a heartwarming happily ever after.
