The Summer Before Forever: A Young Adult Stepbrother Romance
About this ebook
Chloe Stone’s life is a hot mess. Determined to stop being so freaking skittish, she packs up her quasi-famous best friend and heads to Florida to stay with her distant, newly engaged dad. The goal? Complete a summer bucket list of confidence-building tasks that take her so far out of her comfort zone she’s spinning. And all with her hot, soon-to-be stepbrother, Landon Jacobs looking on.
Landon’s mom will throttle him if he even looks at his future stepsister the wrong way. Problem is, Chloe is everything he didn’t know he wanted, and that’s...inconvenient. Watching her tear it up on a karaoke stage, defend her exasperating but lovable friend, and rock her first string bikini destroys his sanity.
But there’s more than their future family on the line. Landon is hiding something—something he knows will change how she feels about him—and she’s hiding something from him, too. When the secrets come out, there’s a good chance neither will look at the other the same way again.
For fans of Sarah Dessen, Kasie West, Jenny Han, and anyone who enjoys a first love summer romance!
*Previously published in 2016 with a different cover.
