Summer's Surrender

by L.M. Spangler

Sometimes new beginnings burn bright.

Looking for a new start, Ian Jacobs moves from Los Angeles back to the small town in Pennsylvania where he grew up. He hopes opening his own music store will help him overcome the demons of his alcoholism. He also wants to win back his ex-girlfriend, Summer. He's still in love with her, and having her in his life could be the lift he needs to beat his addiction.

Summer Duncan, owner of Duncan Candles, finds herself drawn back to the first man she ever loved. She resists, but love has a mind of its own and it wants Ian Jacobs. She can't help but open her heart to him despite his addiction and the heartbreak he caused her when he left town without even saying goodbye. She's torn between keeping him at a distance and giving him another chance.

Little does Ian know that parts of his past unbeknownst to him are about to come to light. First, he's almost run down by a speeding vehicle, and then he begins receiving packages with random car parts in them. Soon, Summer starts to receive them as well. When Ian learns that his father killed three people in a DUI accident, he wonders if these events are somehow related to that. Is someone out there seeking revenge against Ian for his father's actions? And will Summer get caught in the crossfire?
