The Summer I Saved You

The Summer I Saved You by Elizabeth O'Roark takes readers on an emotionally charged journey filled with longing, heartache, and surprising redemption. Caleb and Lucie, once childhood acquaintances, are brought back together by fate and circumstance in a story that is as tender as it is tumultuous.

CALEB

Escaping to the lake for solitude, Caleb seeks to nurse his wounds away from the prying eyes of the world. The last thing he anticipated was neighbours—especially not Lucie, who was a mere child the last time he visited. Now, she stands before him as a captivating woman with two children of her own, pulling his heart in directions he had long forgotten. Despite Caleb's attempts to maintain his isolation, Lucie is a constant presence, reminding him of dreams he'd abandoned and desires he'd suppressed. Her magnetism is impossible to ignore, and soon, Caleb finds himself yearning for a life he had once resigned to forget.

LUCIE

Since first laying eyes on Caleb at the tender age of six, Lucie has always felt an inexplicable connection to him, a sense of belonging and a deep-seated need to save him from his troubles. Lucie’s life is far from perfect; she’s plagued by a vindictive ex-partner and more problems than she can count. Yet, in her core, nothing has changed—Caleb still feels like hers, and she is determined to be his saviour despite the odds stacked against them.

The story delves deep into the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the unyielding nature of true connection. As Lucie and Caleb navigate the treacherous waters of their pasts and presents, readers will find themselves rooting for their entwined destinies. With a narrative that beautifully balances angst and hope, The Summer I Saved You is a testament to the power of healing through love.
