Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward, comes a new stand-alone novel.

The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?

Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer. From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.

Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own - watching me watching Leo. That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them. Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.

Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.

Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.

It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love. We both had one wish: more time together.

But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back. A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.

I believed our story was over.

Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core. I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?

Well, I knew nothing yet.

I laughed... I cried.... and I absolutely feel in love with this story! Penelope Ward hit a home run with all bases full in this book. Jacob Morgan & Andi Arndt nailed the narration as well.

All the Feels

I laughed, I cried, my heart broke, everything in one book. This book hit right in the heart. The only thing that would have made this better would have been duet style narration. A massive round of applause for the author.

Loved this beautiful story!

This book is the perfect end of summer read. Penelope Ward has a way of writing that seamlessly allows you to feel close and connected to the characters. This gift is more than just great character development. And this book is no exception. I loved Leo & Sig from their first “sighting” by Felicity. And Felicity, everything about her felt so genuine, authentic, a little tragic because of her past but also fierce and brave.

The complexity of the story worked, again seamlessly, adding so much more to what Leo & Felicity were feeling. I definitely feel this is one of Penelope’s best and is on my top favorite list for this year! You absolutely want this book to be your next 1 click!!!

Narration by Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan made the story even better.
