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.

Leo & Felicity - Love is all you need

Absolutely love this book, the characters, the narrators and how Penelope Ward used a song title to encompass every chapter. Such a clever and unique way to set the tone for the direction their love story would be taking. One of my favorite parts of this story is the character of Sigmund Benedictus (sp?). Leo’s cousin and his crude language/innuendos made me burst out laughing multiple times while listening. The icing on the cake is truly Jacob Morgan and Andi Arndt! They brought the characters to life. Such a winning combination.
