The Summer Sisters

by Sara Richardson

Overview

Three sisters search to reunite their family and find love along the way in this heartwarming novel—fans of Lori Foster and Maisey Yates won't be able to resist this author's "unputdownable, unforgettable stories from the heart" (Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author). 

The Buchanan sisters share everything—even ownership of their beloved Juniper Inn. As children, they spent every holiday there, until a feud between their mother, Lillian, and Aunt Sassy—one that would last for decades—kept them away. 

When plans for a grand re-opening of the inn coincide with Sassy's 70th birthday party, youngest sister, Rose, decides it's time for a family reunion. Only she'll need help from a certain handsome hardware store owner to pull off the extravagant celebration . . .   

And when Lillian’s return brings family secrets flooding into the open, will the Buchanan sisters find the strength to heal the pain of the past and maybe even . . . find love?

Two sisters and their aunt find second chances at love and happiness in Richardson’s heartwarming second Juniper Springs romance (after Home for the Holidays). Rose Buchanan left her fiancé and her life in Savannah, Ga., to start over in the small town of Juniper Springs, Colo., taking over her aunt Sassy’s inn with her sister Dahlia and Sassy’s adoptive son, Colt, who Sassy took in as a teenager. The trio get to work transforming the inn into a luxurious mountain resort, and throughout the stressful renovation, Rose is pleasantly surprised that Colt, her once-enemy, is her biggest help. But her attraction to him is also her biggest distraction. Meanwhile, Dahlia, a recently divorced single mother, reconnects with Ike, the man she fell for while visiting Juniper Springs the previous Christmas. As they embark on a relationship, though, she discovers that dating’s more complicated with kids involved. Sassy gets an unexpected request to serve as the town’s interim mayor, and in this new position, she finds both a fresh chance at love and the potential to reconcile with her estranged sister, Rose and Dahlia’s mother. Richardson does a good job painting three endearingly imperfect women and braiding their separate love stories. This is sure to win readers’ hearts. Agent: Susie Townsend, New Leaf Literary. (July)
