In this reunion romance, a celebrity returns to the coastal town where his heart was broken and struggles to forgive the man he still loves.

When Joshua Newton, son of Long Island’s elite, fell in love with ambitious young actor Finn Callaghan, his world finally made sense. With every stolen moment, soft touch and breathless kiss, they fell deeper in love.

Finn was his future . . . until Joshua made the worst mistake of his life and let his family’s disapproval tear them apart.

Eight years later, Finn has returned to the seaside town where it all began. He’s on the brink of stardom, a far cry from the poor mechanic who spent one gorgeous summer falling in love on the beach.

The last thing he wants is a second chance with the man who broke his heart. Finn has spent a long time forgetting Joshua Newton—he certainly doesn’t plan to forgive him.

Drawn together yet kept apart by their history, old feelings soon begin to stir. Back in the place where their romance began, Joshua and Finn finally come to realize the truth: love stays. Even when you don’t want it to, even when you try to deny it, love stays.

“When I read romance, I want to be moved. I want highs and lows and ultimately, soaring joy—and this delivered in spades.” —Joanna Chambers, author of the ENLIGHTENMENT series.

“Clever characterisation, a central MM relationship to root for, and elegant, evocative writing. A gem of a book.” —Dal Maclean, author of Bitter Legacy, 2017 Lambda Literary Award finalist.
