When August Ends

When August Ends

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.<br /><br />What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?<br /><br />Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.<br /><br />But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake—not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still trying to figure out why.<br /><br />When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been finishing up college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid.<br /><br />Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden. <br /><br />I knew he was just passing through town for the summer.<br /><br />I knew he was probably a little old for me.<br /><br />Yet, I was drawn to him.<br /><br />Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning.<br /><br />I wanted him and made no secret of it.<br /><br />His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from. <br /><br />Because he’s leaving at the end of the summer.<br /><br />And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
