Only One Summer
Summer Layton's prophetic dreams tell her that a friend from her past, Vinnie Carlucci, is in trouble. Soon she learns that the FBI has suspended him from duty, after he is framed for a crime he swears he did not commit. Being a high-powered, no-nonsense defense attorney, Summer takes Vinnie on as a client, but damning evidence against him continues to mount.
When unexpected sparks fly, Summer and Vinnie find themselves entangled in more than a fight to get his job back. If Summer fails to prove his innocence, she'll lose the man she loves…and he'll lose his freedom.

About the author
K.M. Daughters
25 books54 followersKay and Mickey Lynch gave birth to two daughters - US. Patricia Noel was born in their native city, Bronx, New York, but only resided there while in the hospital nursery. The little family moved to a two family house in New Jersey - Kay and Mickey's "house in the country". Three and a half years later Kathleen Ann was born and the Lynch family was complete.
Our parents' names might sound familiar to you. That's because we made a promise to each other to name characters in each of our books after our mom and dad - whether they just have cameos or they get to have some fun as secondary characters. This way they live on in our pages as well as our hearts.
Daddy was a doorman for the exclusive Fifth Avenue designer, Hattie Carnegie, until her death and the close of her shop. A natural born storyteller, he would regale us with stories of the famous people he helped into and out of the shop every day: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Jackie "O" (before she was a Kennedy or an Onassis) and Lucille Ball. We extended an invitation to Lucy and Desi to come for dinner and watch "I Love Lucy" with us and we could never understand why that never happened.
Mickey started his own paint contracting business in town and Mike The Painter was much beloved by his clients. In his spare time he wrote children's books that delighted us. He died when we were teenagers and Kay never remarried. After she died, we self-published three of our favorite stories available through online retailers in eBook format (author, Michael Lynch)
We were young when Daddy died and Mom was nearly destroyed with grief. It fostered an "us against the world" mentality that lives on today in our special bond with each other. We relish "sister time"..
Kathie married Tom and gave birth to two sons Tom and Michael. Kathie is the proud "Nana" of five grandchildren. In addition to heading a small human resources services company, Kathie is a naturalist and volunteer in sea turtle and seal rescue in Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Pat married and had two daughters, Jen and Emilie. She divorced ten years later. Then she married Nick Casiello. Aside from gaining a perfect husband (in her opinion) she also gained a son, Brian. She is the founder and President of three relocation benefits management corporations. Pat and Nick co-run the small businesses and live in the western suburbs of Chicago.
At the 2005 RWA (Romance Writers of America) National Conference, K.M. Daughters was born when we plotted our first novel together.
Our second project, AGAINST DOCTOR'S ORDERS, began our Sullivan Boys romantic suspense series published by The Wild Rose Press. Four novels followed, available in audio formats in addition to print and digital.
Our inspirational romances are published by White Rose Publishing.
Fill The Stadium, our first mainstream fiction novel, is the recipient of the BOOKSELLER'S BEST AWARD. Our contemporary romance, REUNION FOR THE FIRST TIME, won the INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL AWARD.
BEWITCHING BREEZE, the 1st in the Sisters Of The Legend Fantasy Romance Trilogy releases November 5, 2018.
Coming soon from Prism Publishing, ROSE IN THE DESERT, a Christian Fiction novel with miraculous and supernatural elements.

Summer Layton has a special gift and when one of her dreams foretells Vinnie Carlucci, a friend of the family, in danger, she knows she must help him. After contacting him, she discovers he’s been accused by the FBI of stealing and he’s been suspended, pending an investigation. Summer agrees to represent him. The more she digs into the investigation, the more incriminating evidence is unearthed. Someone is framing Vinnie but who? There’s more than his job at stake when he discovers her secret. Can Summer prove his innocence without losing her heart to him?
Only One Summer is book two in the Sisters of the Legend Trilogy and if possible, this is even better than book one (Bewitching Breeze). Both Summer and Vinnie are strong characters with plenty to hide. The suspense subplot moves the plot along while the romance makes this a five-star read. Attraction is pretty immediate but them getting together takes work. As they push and pull each other, they form a sustaining foundation, and this is needed later on when Vinnie learns Summer’s secret.
A magical romance with huge doses of suspense. I kept trying to discover the culprit before it was revealed and I have to say, I never figured it out. Well done, K.M. Daughters on building a solid mystery wrapped in a fantasy romance. Even though this is book two, it can be read as a standalone. Highly recommend!
Favorite Character/Quote: Summer. She’s such a fun character and I loved exploring her feelings for Vinnie while trying to remain professional. She has a tough exterior but inside she’s squishy and lovable.
My Rating: 5 stars
