From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?
Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.
But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake—not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still trying to figure out why.
When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid.
Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden.
I knew he was just passing through town for the summer.
I knew he was probably too old for me.
Yet, I was drawn to him.
Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning.
I wanted him and made no secret of it.
His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from.
Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer.
And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.
I’m beginning to believe that pretty much anything by Penelope Ward is going to be gold. I’ve read a few of hers recently, and I just can’t get enough. She’s really on to something!
In When August Ends, we have Heather and Noah. Noah shows up at Heather’s rental, on her family’s property. After some sexual tension, and some line-drawing–in which he makes it clear that there will be NO relationship between them, Heather and Noah become friends.
Fast-forward and secrets are revealed, struggles are dealt with and the story took my breath away. Things aren’t always easy for these two. And instead of it getting old and tired, these two grow together in a way that lasts and gives the reader a complete tale.
