Summer Street

Josephine Dufour built Cuppa Jo's from a dream and a red Formica counter. Now, with a crowdfunding campaign about to launch her own line of gourmet coffee, she's finally putting herself first — no distractions, and definitely no more waiting on a man who can't make up his mind.

Then Blue Blumenthal walks back onto the beach.

Two weeks of silence. A canceled trip to Yosemite. A job offer in Chicago that could take him away from Crown Island for good. Jo swore she was done rearranging her life around his uncertainty — but one look at him, and every promise she made to herself starts to waver.

Blue knows exactly what he wants. He just has to prove it before he loses her for good — and before the past he's spent years running from catches up to both of them.

Set against sun-drenched beaches, small-town charm, and the comforting bustle of a beloved island diner, Summer Street is a sweet, slow-burn second-chance romance about choosing love when it's easier to walk away — perfect for fans of small-town sagas, found family, and happily-ever-afters worth fighting for.

From the USA Today bestselling author of the Summer Beach and Coral Cottage series, Summer Street is the fifth in the Crown Island series about a quirky small town with fascinating characters. If you love clean romance and women’s fiction with fun characters you’ll want as friends, this binge-worthy series is for you.
