β¦ Synopsis
Timing is Everything
Itβs the start of the tourist season in the Pines, and the quaint little town is busier than ever. Vacationers abandon the hustle of the big city to catch a glimpse into a slower way of life, some secretly hoping thereβs a chance at a holiday romance. Meanwhile, Summer and Jake are busy with their own ventures, and they continue to grow closer, finding there's much to learn about love.
Summer hires Luca, a handsome new yoga instructor, to help her out with the studio as it continues to flourish. They work closely together, and itβs clear he wants to be more than just her eager employee. Jake is working constantly, running his thriving hardware store during the day and building the townβs newest resort at night. What he fails to tell Summer is that his amazing new coworker Jessie is a woman.
If things werenβt hectic enough, Summerβs apartment above her studio floods, forcing her to move in with Jake during the renovations. Jake wants to get to know Summer on a deeper level, but living together so soon may prove to be more than theyβre ready for. Is there really such a thing as happily ever after? Will the temptations of other people drive them apart, or bring them closer together?
Find out in the anticipated sequel to Peaceful Pines.
