Macy Clark has finally found some semblance of happiness in her life after 3 long years of grieving for her first husband, Finn Lockhart, who was reported killed in action in Afghanistan. Macy has married Wyatt Clark, an up and coming businessman in their small community of Cedar Springs, Texas, and the two are busy with their lives.
Then one day, the Army shows up and sends Macy's world crashing again -- with the news that Finn has been found alive and is coming home. Deliriously happy that her first love is returning to her, Macy also faces the overwhelming dilemma of what to tell her current husband. Just who is she really married to?
Wyatt Clark is thrown for a loop as well. His new bride might not be his wife at all. Plus the massive real estate project that he has been working on might be collapsing due to a big chunk of the land the deal is based on still belongs to Finn Lockhart. Will he lose Macy to her first love, or will he fight for her?
But it's Finn who faces the biggest adjustments. Returning home after being held captive for three years, Finn had dreamed that everything would be the same, but he finds that his wife is remarried, his beloved Two Wishes Ranch is about to be sold, and even his dog has taken up with Macy's new husband. Finn also faces the very real problem of adjusting from wartime to civilian life, and all the ramifications that entails, including dealing with post traumatic stress syndrome. Can he still be the man Macy needs in her life?
In Julia London's new contemporary romance, SUMMER OF TWO WISHES, she takes a look at a heartbreaking problem in a very current scenario. London brings into the compelling story a look at the situation through the eyes of each character. Not only does the reader get Macy's story, Finn and Wyatt's points of view are also included, giving the novel a three-dimensional feel. A fascinating book.
Whose wife was she? Macy Lockhart's life shattered in a moment with the news that her husband, Finn -- serving in the military overseas -- has been killed in the line of duty. Their ardent and devoted marriage is over, leaving Macy alone, empty, directionless. But while she tries to sustain herself with memories of Finn, the quiet, strong man who made her and their small Texas ranch the center of his life, it is wealthy Wyatt Clark who slowly brings joy back into her life. Her love for Wyatt may be less romantic than the breathless passion she'd once shared with Finn, but she vows to cherish him, and their marriage is happy and as solid as a rock. Until the day that Finn, miraculously spared from death, returns home to claim his bride....
How can a woman choose between the two men she loves? And how will she make the right choice -- for herself and everyone involved? In a deeply moving, passionate novel, New York Times bestselling author Julia London illuminates the questions hidden in a woman's heart.
