Welcome to Black Dog Bay, a tiny seaside town in Delaware known as 'the best place in America to bounce back from your breakup.' Home to the Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast, the Eat Your Heart Out bakery, and the Whinery bar, Black Dog Bay offers a haven for the suddenly single. Flight attendant Summer Benson lives by two rules- Don't stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one place. She's about to break rule number one by considering accepting her boyfriend's proposal-then disaster strikes and her world is shattered in an instant. Summer heads to Black Dog Bay, where the locals welcome her. Even Hattie Huntington, the town's oldest, richest, and meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then there's Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, who's the opposite of her type. She probably shouldn't be kissing him. She definitely shouldn't be falling in love. After a lifetime of globe-trotting, Summer has finally found a home. But Hattie has old scores to settle and a hidden agenda for her newest employee. Summer finds herself faced with an impossible choice- Leave Black Dog Bay behind forever, or stay with the ones she loves and cost them everything . . .

Roxanne St. Claire, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Barefoot Bay Series 'Utterly delightful! Summer Benson will charm and disarm her way into the hearts of readers.' Meg Donohue, USA Today Bestselling Author of All the Summer Girls

Acclaim for Beth Kendrick

Kendrick writes with a wicked sense of humor and great wisdom about the power of friendship [and] the importance of true love.The Chicago Tribune

Kendrick proves she is the leader of the pack when it comes to fashioning cheekily clever love stories, and her latest will delight readers with its delectably acerbic wit and charmingly complex characters.Booklist(starred review)

In an engaging story about matters of the heart, Kendrick perfectly captures the struggle between who we really are and who we want to be. With its endearing characters and page-turning plot, this novel balances humor and emotion in a way that begs it to be read in one sitting.RT Book Reviews
