Magnolia Summer

Set in the late 1990's to early 2000s, Brie Montgomery never planned to fall for Seth Madden-the older, ruggedly charming Southern man she was only supposed to spend one unforgettable summer with before leaving Mississippi for college.

But what begins as a secret fling quickly turns into the kind of love neither of them is prepared to lose.

As the years pull them in different directions, heartbreak, distance, and life itself threaten to bury what they shared beneath old wounds and painful choices. Yet no matter how far Brie runs, Laurel-and the man who once held her heart-never truly lets her go.

When she finally returns home years later, Brie and Seth are forced to confront the love they never forgot and decide if second chances are worth risking everything for.

Emotional, steamy, and deeply heartfelt, this Southern romance is a story about first love, healing, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home.
