About this ebook

Beach Rules:
Do take long walks on the sand.
Do put an umbrella in every cocktail.
Do NOT run into your first love.

On paper, Sam's life is on track. She has the perfect doctor fiancé, Jack (his strict routines are a good thing, really), a great job in Manhattan (unless they fire her), and is about to tour a wedding venue near her family's Long Island beach house.

The last person she expects to see is Wyatt: her first love. But there's no reason for a thirty-year-old engaged woman to feel panicked around the guy who broke her heart when she was seventeen. Right?

Yet being back at this beach has Sam's memories come flooding back: the feel of Wyatt's skin on hers, their nights in the treehouse, and the truth behind their split.

As their irresistible spark comes rushing back, and Sam starts to remember the girl she used to be, she must decide: is the life she's created the one she wants?

This warm, witty and life-affirming love story is perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary, Carley Fortune and B.K. Borison.

'Bursting with the magic of first love, it's everything I want in a summer romance.'
Carley Fortune

'Emotional love stories are my favourites and this one is pure summer escapism.'

Sam is going to have to decide whether she chooses the life she and Jack have created, her job, her apartment, the swanky wedding, etc or the life she had before. I really enjoyed this and it is only now, several weeks later that I realise it has very similar bones to Sweet Home Alabama - totally different story but same (sort of) plot - IDK if that makes any sense? Anyhoo, that is still one of my favourite films so having a novel with the same vibes is a good thing in my book.
