A Summer of Promise – Sunset Cove Book 2 (PAPERBACK)

Description

A charming café. A hidden secret. One unforgettable summer that promises a second chance.

After one unforgettable Thursday Supper, Eva Hamilton should finally feel steady in Sunset Cove. The Sea Pine Inn is filling again, Margot is dreaming bigger, and the town that once felt like a temporary refuge is beginning to feel dangerously like home.

Eva came to the coast to recover from the betrayal that shattered her life in New York, not to become the heart of a struggling waterfront inn. But every new menu, every packed table, and every familiar face makes it harder to pretend she is only passing through. When Margot offers her a real future at the café and the inn, Eva is forced to face the question she has been avoiding all summer: what if going back means losing the first place that has ever truly wanted her?

Then there is Lucas Reed, the guarded handyman who has become impossible to ignore. He is steady when Eva feels uncertain, present when she tries to keep her distance, and careful with truths he is not ready to share. Their almost-confession still lingers between them, but when Eva discovers the truth about Lucas, everything she thought she understood begins to shift.

As summer slips closer to its end, Eva must decide whether she can trust a town that keeps making room for her, a café that needs her, and a man whose secret reaches straight into the world she ran from. A Promise of Summer is a heartwarming coastal women’s fiction novel about found family, second chances, healing after betrayal, and the courage it takes to choose the life that finally feels like home.

Perfect for readers who love small-town beach reads, sweet slow-burn romance, food, friendship, and hopeful stories about starting over.
