The Summer My Life Began

One summer can change everything...

BOOK ONE:

Em’s parents have her life mapped out for her: an internship at her father's firm, a degree from Harvard, and a career as a lawyer.

The only problem is, it's not what she wants.

So when she gets the opportunity to spend a month with a mysterious aunt, she jumps at the chance.

Then there's the laid-back local surfer boy who is everything Em isn't and exactly what her parents don’t want for her. Naturally, she can't resist him. And for one single month, she's living life free of her strict upbringing.

But when Em uncovers a long-buried secret about her family, everything changes. Suddenly, she finds herself making some big choices about her future—choices she never dreamed she’d have the chance to make…

BOOK TWO:

Gwenny is the party girl who has officially made one too many mistakes. All she wants is a second chance and a place where she's no longer invisible. Hoping for a fresh start, she joins her sister on a secluded island off the coast of North Carolina. 

The last thing she expects is a sexy and sweet musician to stroll into her life…

Levi is an international music star who hasn’t composed a single note in nearly a year. An invitation to spend the summer on a secluded island might be just the thing to blast through his musical block and finally move beyond his secretive past. Yet Levi discovers more than a spark of inspiration on the sunny sands.

He meets a blue-eyed muse who makes him think about much more than music, or secrets…

But what do you do when fate intervenes and the one person you fall in love with is the one you can’t have?
