Slow Burn Summer

Kate Elliot needs a job. After spending the past 20 years as a stay-at-home mom, her skills have been a little out of practice. Thankfully, Kate has one thing she can rely on: her past career as a working actress on a soap opera. Reaching out to her London agent, she’s stunned to find it’s his son, Charlie, who now runs the agency. Charlie has a unique opportunity for her: to pose as the face of a bestselling love story, since the author prefers to stay anonymous. She’ll attend book signings, give interviews, and essentially pretend to be the author, not to mention after one reading she falls in love with the book! What could possibly go wrong? Post divorce Kate moved out of her beautiful home and is temporarily living in a small flat above her sister’s costume shop, so her life is already full of surprises. But when sparks fly between her and hot, recently-divorced Charlie, the job starts to feel less like a quirky favor and more like an unexpected second chance at love. As their professional relationship turns personal, Kate struggles to keep things professional while her chemistry with Charlie is off the chart. Romantic, sweet, and packed with humor, this novel has it all. With lovable characters and a fast-paced plot, it’s the perfect read for the beach this summer! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
