At Sixteen, Melonie fell in love with Rainey when they spent a summer together. They had no hope of ever making their relationship work because they came from two different worlds. It wasn't a typical summer romance, there were no grand gestures, no professions of love, and in the end they made no promises to see one another again. Six weeks later Melonie found out a lot came out of that summer romance, and it may have been more than she bargained for.
For years after that summer, Melonie tried to find Rainey, but she never did. At least not until six years later, Suddenly her life was turned upside down again at the same place they had met years before. Six years ago it was supposed to be a summer fling where no promises were made.
Will Rainey step up the the consequences of that summer, or will he leave once again without a promise of a future?
Sometimes love wasn't what you thought it was, and maybe the second time around July Raine could change them both.
