Synopsis

Catie

At forty-three, I thought I had life figured out, until a surprise divorce left me with a quiet house, a daughter off at college, and no idea who I am without being someone's wife or mother. On a whim, I'm renting a small beach cottage on Galveston Island for the summer, determined to prove I'm brave enough to try something new.

I do not expect to fall off a paddleboard on my very first morning of trying something new. And I definitely don't expect the grumpy, yet steady man who fishes me out of the water to make my heart race.

Spencer

I've spent the last five years focused on two things: running my beachfront watersports shop and raising my teenage son after my wife walked away from both of us. I've learned not to expect people to stay. Life is simpler that way.

But Catie, with her nervous laughter, her determination to stand up after every fall, and her strength, makes me want to believe in something permanent again.

The only problem? Summer doesn't last forever.

The Summer of Starting Over is a sweet, kisses-only later-in-life romance about healing, hope, and finding love when you least expect it, set against the sun-soaked shores of Galveston Island.
