Brynn Turner heads back home after a bad breakup. She vows that her life is going to be different and will not get involved with another man. Eli Thomas is a guy who surrounds himself with people who need help and wants a family of his own. Kinsey Davis has been slowly dying because of a failing kidney. Eli is put in the middle when these two women--once each other’s worst enemies--are about to change their relationship. Three people who made deals during their time at summer camp will reunite and make each other a new deal of a lifetime. . .
Jill Shalvis brings you back to Wildstone and into the lives of three people who are connected by the deals they made at summer camp as children but have now reunited as adults. These three will have to put aside the disagreements of the past to become the friends and family that they all need. THE SUMMER DEAL is an emotional story of long-ago crushes that could turn into love and long-kept secrets that can change enemies into family. What’s next for the people of Wildstone? I look forward to finding out what Ms. Shalvis has in store for the Wildstone citizens.
From New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis comes a friends-to-frenemies-to-lovers story… Add in a few secrets. Shake. Stir. Then read on a lazy summer day at the beach…Brynn Turner desperately wishes she had it together, but her personal life is like a ping-pong match that’s left her scared and hurt after so many attempts to get it right. In search of a place to lick her wounds and get a fresh start, she heads back home to Wildstone.
And then there’s Kinsey Davis, who after battling serious health issues her entire twenty-nine years of life, is tired of hoping for . . . well, anything. She's fierce, tough, and she’s keeping more than one bombshell of a secret from Brynn -- her long-time frenemy.
But then Brynn runs into Kinsey's best friend, Eli, renewing her childhood crush. The good news: he’s still easy-going and funny and sexy as hell. The bad news: when he gets her to agree to a summer-time deal to trust him to do right by her, no matter what, she never dreams it’ll result in finding a piece of herself she didn’t even know was missing. She could have real connections, possibly love, and a future—if she can only learn to let go of the past.
As the long days of summer wind down, the three of them must discover if forgiveness is enough to grasp the unconditional love that’s right in front of them.
