Can love begin when summer ends?
Dragged to the charming island of Nantucket for her niece’s wedding celebrations, finance hotshot Olivia plans a week of spreadsheets and sunscreen – until she meets Connor: ten years younger, impossibly charming, and a single dad with a playboy past.
Unable to deny their beachside chemistry, Olivia and Connor dive into a carefree romance with a built-in expiry date…
But as the Nantucket sunshine starts to fade and real life resumes, will this just be a postcard-perfect fling – or the start of something more?
Tropes:
- Opposites attract
- Age gap
- Summer fling
- No strings attached
- Single dad"
"'Booked for Summer had me grinning, swooning, and wishing I could move to Nantucket and save a bookstore of my own. Highly recommended for anyone who loves enemies-to-lovers, summer vibes, and a good dose of bookish magic.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A love story she didn't see coming…
When book lover Jade Taylor applies to manage the Little Bay Book Shack on Nantucket Island over the summer, the last thing she needs is the distraction of billionaire resort owner, Liam Haven.
But things take an unexpected turn when Liam becomes Jade’s boss – a man who reads nothing but contracts for pleasure…
In a bid to save the bookshop from being absorbed into the Haven resort, Jade is determined to teach Liam that there’s more to life than acquiring real estate. And if she can make him realise happily ever afters do exist, might she be able to save the island’s bookshop in the process?

"The perfect pick me up romcom for fans of Beth O’Leary, Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood!
Not an expert, not even close, not in any of this. But nobody will try harder than me to make you happy.
Sally is a classic romantic and Harry is a classic cynic, but when a drunken bet leads the new flatmates to (badly) recreate ‘the lift’ from Dirty Dancing, and the video goes viral (#EpicRomcomReenactmentFailure), they both realise there’s potential financial benefit in blundering their way through the romcom lexicon for their suddenly vast social media following.
Now, as Harry and Sally bring major romcom moments to new life – including recreating that classic diner scene – their faking it turns to making…out and suddenly they’re living a real life romcom of their own! But like all the greatest love stories, the road to happily ever after is paved with unexpected challenges for this hero and heroine…

When Lottie Watt is unceremoniously booted out of her uptight book club for not following the rules, she decides to throw the rulebook out the window and start her own club – one where conversation, gin and cake take precedent over actually having read the book!
The Beach Reads Book Club soon finds a home for its meetings at Books by the Bay, a charming bookshop and café owned by gorgeous, brooding Matthew Steele, and as the book club picks heat up, so too does the attraction between Matt and Lottie.
If there’s anything Lottie has learned from the romances she’s been reading, it’s that the greatest loves are the ones hardest earned.
