About this listen
In best seller Sophie Love’s new comedic romance series, summer is here, and the fourth of July is gearing up to be a big first weekend for Emma’s B&B—but renovations are faltering, a sleazy new neighbor has moved next door, Emma’s ex is trying to force his way back into her life, and when a love triangle develops, Emma finds herself more confused than ever. With nothing is going as planned, Emma wonders: Has she made the wrong decision?
Just One Summer is book three in a charming new romantic-comedy series by best-selling author Sophie Love, whose books have received more than 5,000 five-star reviews.
Emma Gold, a high-powered advertising exec from Los Angeles, is used to being in control of her life. She squashed her dreams of being an artist in order to get ahead, and she turned a blind eye to who her husband really was.
But now, with everything falling apart, she realizes there might be more to life.
When Emma is beckoned to visit her aunt, a funny and feisty elderly woman who smokes cigars, drives race cars, and owns a massive, crumbling house in a beautiful, quaint seaside town, Emma thinks she is just coming for a weekend. Little does she know her life is about to change.
With her sister living nearby and her aunt needing to move out, Emma wonders if maybe the idea is not so crazy. And when she meets the local antiques dealer, she even has to wonder if there might just be a second chance at love awaiting her.
But Emma is new to renovation, to running a B&B, to dealing with a local zoning board—and to dealing with a distant, hostile relative who wants the house for himself and who will do anything he can to stop her. In a series of laugh-out-loud events, Emma learns that, sometimes, we have to let go of control.
And, sometimes, a new love—and a new life—might just be waiting around the corner.
Just One Summer is book three in the debut of a funny and dazzling new sweet romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, keep you listening late into the night—and make you fall in love with clean romance all over again.

Story
Holden Henry is every girl’s dream—kind, funny, outgoing. A catch in every sense. Despite my wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing, he’s been my friend forever. He has no idea I’ve had more-than-friends feelings for him for years, and I intend to keep it that way. When I’m forced to return to the small town where we grew up, I’m faced with a big, fat problem. Being a good pal, Holden offers me a too-tempting solution: a marriage of convenience. It’s a crazy plan...but I’m desperate enough to try it. Besides, he’s not just saving me; we’ll be helping each other.
