Summer is just around the corner, and for the first time in twelve years, I’m spending it away from my husband.

When my husband told me he got his dream job in Italy, I was nothing but supportive.

Even though it means relocating halfway across the world and I’m not even sure about our marriage anymore.

My friend Mel gave me the keys to her beach house for the summer.

It’s an opportunity to spend two blissful months with my two young children, laugh, and write the screenplay I’ve been working on.

Then my other tenants arrive—also Mel’s idea. There’s Ari and Nadav, who rent out the bedrooms on the ground floor. I don’t know much about them, but they are as charming as they are considerate every step of the way. And last, there’s Ben—mysterious and modest, and whenever our paths cross in the kitchen or on the beach, he makes me feel like I haven’t felt in years…

I came to the beach house to get away from it all, but one thing’s for sure: By the end of the summer, my life will never be the same.

The Summer Beach House is an uplifting, wholesome seaside escape novel, a clean and charming story of second chances that will lift you up and never let you down.
