The Summer I Saved You

An angsty, single-parent romance from the author of TikTok favourite A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. CALEB I came to the lake to be left alone, to lick my wounds. I wasn´t counting on neighbors and I especially wasn´t counting on her. Lucie was a little kid the last time I was here. Now she´s grown-and God, did she ever grow up-with two little kids of her own. She´s everywhere I look, no matter how hard I try to avoid her. I´d forgotten all the things I used to want, used to dream about. She´s reminding me...and making me want every last one of them again. LUCIE From the moment I first saw Caleb when I was six, I knew he belonged to me. And I knew I´d have to save him-because how else does the girl nobody wants win over the boy beloved by all? Nothing about his life or mine has gone to plan. He´s isolated and miserable. I´ve got a vindictive ex and more problems than I can count. But what hasn´t changed is this: it still feels like he´s mine.
