This Summer Will Be Different

From the million-copy bestselling author Carley Fortune, comes This Summer Will Be Different, a riveting tale of forbidden romance, heart-wrenching decisions, and the enduring pull of true love. Lucy and Felix have a magnetic connection that neither time nor distance can sever. Their first meeting is serendipitous: Lucy, a carefree tourist enjoying a beach house holiday on Prince Edward Island, meets Felix, a charming local with a penchant for making the best of any situation. Their chemistry is instantaneous and electric, yet complicated by an unexpected revelation—Felix is the younger brother of Lucy's best friend, Bridget. Every summer finds Lucy returning to the island with Bridget, seeking solace in the ocean breeze, fresh oysters, and sun-drenched days on the red sand beaches. Despite her resolve to keep a safe distance, Lucy finds herself irresistibly drawn to Felix, year after year. What starts as an unforgettable night turns into six summers filled with secret rendezvous, concealed emotions, and a tangled web of lies. As the summers unfold, Lucy's internal struggle between loyalty to her friendship and her undeniable attraction to Felix intensifies. No matter how many times she tries to walk away, the pull is too strong—an unspoken bond connects them, a perfect blend of vulnerability and passion. Last summer, in a bid to simplify her complicated emotions, Lucy made a tough decision to break things off with Felix. Yet, destiny has its own plans. When Bridget encounters an unimaginable crisis, Lucy knows she must be there for her friend. One last trip to the island beckons Lucy, a chance to mend old wounds, and perhaps, reclaim a love she thought was lost for good. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Prince Edward Island, This Summer Will Be Different is a captivating exploration of love's complexities, the sacrifices of friendship, and the resilience of the human heart. As Lucy navigates the stormy waters of loss, loyalty, and longing, readers will be swept away by a narrative that promises to linger long after the final page is turned.
