Feels Like Summer

Rae’s built the family, career, life of her dreams—or so she thinks, until it all comes crashing down when she discovers her husband has been cheating on her with her boss. Rae runs to the person who’s always been her safe place—Maddy, her best friend. When Maddy insists Rae and her kids move in with her while Rae sorts through next steps, Rae says yes. Even when she finds out they won’t be her only house guests… Maddy’s big brother Miles will be staying there, too.  

Miles has been mostly on the road for the last decade, working on rebuilds across the country—partly because it’s a job he loves. And partly because it’s been a way to run from certain things from his past, certain people. Or one person in particular: Rae. He’s been secretly in love with her for years. But those are feelings he can NOT have right now, not when she’s so raw and not when his sister is going through a health crisis she won’t tell anyone else about.  

As Rae and Miles are figuring out what next for themselves, Maddy comes up with the perfect plan: she wants the two of them to renovate her and Miles’s rundown family cottage in Newport. Rae can use the cottage in her design portfolio for future jobs, and it’s exactly the kind of work Miles is best at. It’s too good an offer to refuse… though Rae is anxious about spending that much time with Miles. But each day the two of them spend working side by side, in this special home where they first, secretly fell for one another… the increasing tension is undeniable. Can they actually resist? And more importantly—should they, when they might be everything the other has wanted and needed for all these years?
