About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

It was the summer of my life.
I’d met the guy of my dreams.
Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer - and very much off-limits.
But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his
eyes, we just had to be careful.
He never treated me as his mother did - like hired help.
Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

What a summer it was.
Until it all ended - badly.

I was never supposed to see Gavin again.
That didn’t stop me from thinking about him every day for 10 years.
I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away.

When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier,
I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again.
But I wasn’t prepared.
What if he hated me?
What if he loved someone else now?
I wasn’t prepared for all the unknowns.

And most of all, I wasn’t prepared for today to be the day he came back.

loved my narrator's...SEB and Andi

storyline was in a run of the mill vein....so I knew where it was going. I liked it...not loved it....but there was some happy turns and quirky comments that made me laugh. I've read better and worse this fits nicelyin the feel good HEA section

Good storyline, complete ending

This was a great story, 2 timelines 10 years apart. Narration was great as expected with these two who always narrate so well. Andi Arndt is one of only a few female narrators that can carry a male voice.

Love everything about this

Storyline was so good, wasn’t rushed, and drew you in, narrators as always amazing! 2 narrators whom I love to listen to. Only down side to this book was that I wished it was longer.

Stunningly wonderful

A romance to be remembered and cherished. Nothing about this one will disappoint.
Narrators are a favourite, and do, yet again, an amazing job at helping you to immerse you into the story and characters of Raven and Gavin.
The story line isnt original, poor girl meets rich guy, be assured you will want to hear it this one unfold and will have you barrack hard for love to win out. There are no drawn out plot lines that can just be filling out a story and going over and over what you already know. The story keeps moving, dragging you in deeper and before you know it, you've devoured more.
Beautifully written and beautifully told you won’t be disappointed.

It’s never too late

What a great story. Again Sebastian and Andi are wonderful telling a story with heart and soul. Thank you. One day they might do a duet narrative. But they are still great.
