Summer by the Sea - Paperback

by Susan Wiggs (Author)

"Susan Wiggs paints the details of human relationships with the finesse of a master." --Jodi Picoult

Explore the pleasures of love and laughter, food and wine, friendship and romance in an endearing novel of one woman's journey to rediscover herself over the course of a single summer...

With a little determination and a lot of charm, Rosa Capoletti transformed her family's restaurant, Celesta's-by-the-Sea, from a run-down pizza joint into an idyllic beachfront venue--one that has been voted "best place to propose" three years in a row. Though Rosa excels at creating romantic memories for other couples, her own romance life has been quiet since her love affair with Alexander Montgomery ended without explanation a decade earlier.

When Alex returns to town unexpectedly, the spark of their romance begins to rekindle. Reunited at the beach house where they first fell in love, Rosa and Alexander discover that the secrets of the past are not what they seem. Now, with all that she wants right in front of her, Rosa searches for happiness with the man who once broke her heart--and learns that in love, as in life, there are always second chances.
