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.
