Based on a Love Story

From the author of Summer Fridays, a swoony second-chance love story following a struggling author whose fresh start in a new city is interrupted when she’s reunited with the ex who inspired her bestselling novel

Jonah Kelly’s debut novel is a hit love story. The problem is, she might have been thinking about a certain someone from her past, and the time they crossed paths backpacking in Europe, when she wrote it.

Now, Jonah’s in a rut—living in New York but avoiding all the publishing parties (really avoiding someone at those parties) and feeling stuck on her next book. When her best friend invites her to move to San Francisco, Jonah decides to go. At first, it seems like Jonah’s new chapter is coming together nicely: new city, new love interest, words finally filling the page. But when a big-time magazine asks to do a feature on her, the reporter they send to interview her is none other than Jake, the ghost from her past.

As part of the interview, Jonah must spend three days visiting the most romantic spots in San Francisco, while being flooded by memories of a long-ago summer in Oxford, Paris, and Greece. Adding to that tension is the fact that Jake clearly suspects he’s the inspiration for her great love story—and is on a mission to get Jonah to admit it. She’s tempted to let her guard down . . . but what if her feelings are not only in the past but in the present?
