This wasn’t how it was supposed to be….
​
They met at a wedding, Todd the only man wearing jeans, Jessica the beauty with a troubled background. Settled into married life after falling in love, they have so many things left to do in life. They think they have so much time… until Jessica and Todd’s average married life comes to a halt on a snowy back road.

When their truck careens down an embankment, they find themselves in a life-or-death situation. With rescue seeming impossible, they cling to the only hope they have left: their love for each other.

As they fight for survival, their connection carries them through the biggest challenge of their lives. Memories and regrets swirl around the couple as they finally take a moment to reflect on what they’re doing in life.

There’s one big, icy question that haunts them, though: Is this where their story will end?

From author Lindsay Detwiler comes a sweet, beachy romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Jane Green, and Debbie Macomber.

They always say you can't go home again, but let me add to that advice. If you do return home to live with your stoic, lawyer father and meddling mother, make sure you're not thirty with a bankrupt business and a failed romance.

At thirty, Mathilda "Tillie" Ashby's life is in shambles. After a failed business attempt in New York City and a deep betrayal, she's forced to return home to Ocean City, Maryland, the beach town she tried to escape. Trying to sort out her next career move and her finances, she finds herself working at a boardwalk restaurant called Tino's and living in her childhood bedroom with her helicopter parents.

When Tillie's life collides with Leo Turner, a UK pop sensation who's hiding from the pressures of fame for the summer, her life might just take a different turn. An injury causes Tillie to slow down, and she'll start to rediscover who she really is. Together, Leo and Tillie escape their difficult pasts as they explore Ocean City together. Will they find new dreams as they build their summer romance-or are their vastly different worlds and past heartbreaks too much to overcome?

A sweet, friends-to-lovers beach read, The Summer Song is a powerful story about how love can help us uncover who we really are.

****PRAISE FOR THE SUMMER SONG******

"I am a sucker for a good rock star/ pop star romance, so I knew I was going to love this book, and the fact that I happened to read this book while on the beach was even better! I thought the author did a great job developing the setting of the novel. It truly felt like I was transported to Ocean City with the characters, even though I have never been there before." ~4-Star Netgalley Review, The Summer Song

"This is a love story as epic and transcending as the moon itself. That's what this story felt like to me: falling in love. But not just the fall; the turmoil, angst, emotional waves, butterflies, excitement, anger, passion, intrigue, enchantment..all feelings that barrel together." ~5-star Netgalley Review, The Summer Song

“Six years, a complex about my freckles, a love for pastrami, and a fear of failure. That’s what he gave me before slaughtering my heart and my faith in men.”

Suffering from the sting of betrayal, twenty-eight-year-old Avery Johannas quits her job and moves hundreds of miles away to Ocean City, the beach town of her dreams. With the help of her zany roommate, Jodie, Avery finds a new career, home, and freedom. Throughout her self-exploration, she makes only one rule: She won’t give her heart to a man again. She’s living for herself this time.

But then she meets Jesse.

A tattoo shop owner, the green-eyed Jesse Pearce is wild with a touch of mystery. As Jesse and Avery explore Ocean City and their friendship, they’ll have a hard time drawing a line in the sand between their hearts.

When summer nights get a little more heated than either expected, they’ll have to ask themselves: Can they let go of their notions of love, or will their hearts be permanently inked by past pain?
