A Sea for Summer
Claire Douglas’s life is falling apart. Her once-happy marriage is crumbling, and her heart feels as broken as the pastry shells she works with every day. Just when she’s ready to give up, her determined mother steps in with an unexpected plan—a couples’ retreat on Daydream Island. What was once a cherished friends-only getaway becomes a last-ditch effort to save Claire’s relationship.
Peter Douglas isn’t one to show his emotions, but he knows he’s made mistakes. The practical, numbers-driven accountant is skeptical that his mother-in-law’s bold intervention can mend what’s been broken. The distance between him and Claire feels insurmountable, and the unconventional sessions ahead seem like a long shot. But one goal is certain—he knows what he wants, and he isn’t leaving the island without her.
On the idyllic shores of Daydream Island, Claire and Peter must confront their fears, their past, and the possibility of a new beginning. Will they rediscover the love that brought them together, or will this be the final goodbye?
A Sea for Summer will sweep you away to the shores of Daydream Island, where love is tested and hearts find their way home. Get your copy today and rediscover the magic of second chances.

PRAISE FOR A SEA FOR SUMMER:
"A touching reflection on family, motherhood, identity, and forgiveness that may encourage readers to do more work on their own close relationships. The prose is stylishly straightforward, which not only makes the book a quick and easy read, but also lends the characters a raw simplicity that makes it hard not to root for a happy ending." —SPR, The Review Group
"Shelley’s near rhapsodic prose allows her stories to bloom. Very fine writing allows this refreshing romance to initiate a new series Shelley has aptly titled Places in the Heart. Readers completing this novel will likely be eager for the next installment!" —Grady Harp, Hall of Fame Amazon Top 100 Reviewer
"Kassian’s measured prose is pitch-perfect—good writing sustains, but ‘great’ writing elevates, and at the end of the day, regardless of where you fall on the romance genre, this book is a cut above." —James W., Vine Voice Amazon Reviewer
"You will enjoy this little get-a-way to hope, love and purity, passion and dreams fulfilled. A great read during our trying times." —Kiera-Joy, D., Amazon Reviewer
"This really was a nice change in pace for me … One I would reread." —Maralle Talley, skybookchat
