When a prodigal son returns to his small town, secrets could prevent a second chance at romance.
At eighteen, I fell in love with a girl for a summer.
At twenty-five, I spent a lust-filled weekend with her.
At thirty-eight, I hadn’t planned to give her my heart.
But you know what they say about third times...
Gavin Scott left home long ago. On his way as a promising professional baseball player, he missed nothing from his small-town other than one woman and a few wild nights one summer.
Not prone to sentimentality, he hasn’t looked back until life threw him a curveball and an invitation for his new venture returns him to his roots, where he learns the woman he’s never been able to forget is still there.
Britton McKay didn’t expect to stay. Elk Lake City was only her summer town until life changed course more times than she could keep track. As the owner of the local tea shop, she braces herself for the annual film festival celebration which brings forward memories of some glorious summer nights, an unforgettable weekend romp, and the secret she’s been holding back for too many years.
Sometimes it’s all a matter of perspective before the heart can love again.
Author note: A former baseball player, the woman he left behind, and a decade-old secret gives this third-time encounter a chance to heat things up in this small town.

To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants).
My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males.
I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

A light and breezy Summer Lovin story that touches the heart like a soft summer whisper on the shores of Elk lake. Very sensitive book, written with tenderness, Dunbar revisits the Small town once again and the circle of friends gets bigger. It's a story of second, third...maybe fourth chance at finding your destination in life by meandering down memory lanes, sometimes getting lost, hitting dead ends and sometimes saying, Voila! It's here!!
"Our lives are a journey with multiple roads. You can take the path less traveled, turn back, start again, do a roundabout, or speed down the highway. It’s about choices."
Gavin Scott is the Prodigal son that returns to find his family and friends thick as thieves, his once teen crush still there, albeit a widow and a mother now And the small town still gossipping and being nosey. But he has missed out on all the small details, his mother's sickness, his loves travails and nobody is updating him
“I’ll remind you of that when you realize home isn’t a place. It’s a person. Sometimes it’s even more than one.”
It's like he's the maverick who ran away and now they don't trust him to stick around so they won't include him in their lives.
It's pissing Gavin off!!!
And also the love of his life, Britton McKay, is closed up tighter than Fort Knox and no amount of cajoling, teasing, flirting or hot passionate sex would woo her and relax her.
It's pissing Gavin off!!
"I have this strange sense Britton holds the key to the thing I’ve felt missing in my life. The thing which seems just out of my grasp, waiting for me to catch it. Like that ball coming down the first baseline, ready to change my life forever."
All his life & happiness is right there in front of him. His friends, his family, his parents, his siblings, the love of his life....but he hasn't opened his eyes yet. When his heart opens up, the view is astounding and takes his breath away. It's then that the realization dawns on him. But he has to work hard to gain them back and theres a secret that will tumble up his plans, his life, his trust in shambles.
Oooooooooooh, it's the juicy part
