One Last Summer

Clara Millen's life is out of control. Her dream job has become a nightmare, she is firmly single, and she has not taken real time off in years. She can fix the last problem, so she joins her friends on their yearly summer trip to the childhood sleepover camp they love, hoping for a much-needed escape.

At Pine Lake Camp she gets unwelcome news: the owners are retiring and selling the property. Her plans for a party turn into a night of reminiscing, and she ends up having an unexpected heart-to-heart with Mack, her old camp nemesis and constant rival, who is still annoying and still annoyingly handsome.

The sparks soon go beyond the campfires. One passionate night becomes two, then too many to count, and Clara starts to wonder whether she and Mack might have a future. Then her boss finally offers her everything she has worked so hard for, and she must decide whether the life she always wanted is the one that makes her feel alive.

The author, Kate Spencer, cohosts the Forever35 podcast. This summer romance asks what to do when the life you planned is not the one you dreamed of.
