Summer Lake Silver romances feature couples in their fifties and older.

Summer Lake Silver stories find happily ever afters for those who remember being thirty-something—vaguely.
Like Some Old Country Song
You know those stories – where guy meets girl, they fall for each other, life does its best to tear them apart, but in the end, love conquers all and they embark on their life together?
Yeah? Well, this isn’t one of those stories. This is more like some old country song. A song about a man and a woman who’ve already lived through great highs and lows. A man and a woman who’ve reached their fifties and who, despite humble beginnings have achieved great things in different ways.
He’s had an amazing career as one of country music’s biggest names. She’s raised a daughter and given her everything she needed to go out and succeed in the world.
They’ve both given their all to their chosen path in life, and when those paths cross, two lonely hearts finally see their chance at true happiness.
It’s hardly a spoiler to say that an old country song might end with the sun setting over two rocking chairs on a front porch. You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heart-warming romance today to find out if Marianne and Clay’s story ends that way.
A Dream Too Far
If you've been with me for a while, Seymour and Chris will be familiar to you as Hope's dad and Jack and Dan's mom. If you're new to me and my books - don't worry, you don't need any background to enjoy this story for what it is.
What is it? It's a tale of two people in their fifties who were each widowed young and who raised their children alone. He lost himself in his work, she filled her life with family and friends. Neither of them is looking for love, they each believe they're doing okay. They're about to find out that they could be a whole lot happier—together.
A Little Rain Must Fall
You may have heard the line ‘Into each life some rain must fall.’ It’s true for every one of us. We’ve all lived through some hard times, but they don’t have to destroy us. It’s what we do after the rain that determines whether we allow ourselves to find happiness again.
Ted and Audrey have both known the rain. In fact, they’ve each weathered their fair share of storms.
Audrey’s thirty-year marriage ended when her husband traded her in for someone the same age as their children. It’s taken her a few years since then, but she’s finally ready to step out and become a new version of herself.
Ted’s moved on and built himself a good life after the storm that devastated his world many years ago. He’s rich and successful, he’s rebuilt the bond with his son and his family. Life is good, and at his age, he’s not even looking for great.
These two bring a ray of sunshine into each other’s lives. But will another storm threaten their new-found happiness?
Where the Rainbow Ends
Diego believes that it’s important to focus on the sunny side. The beautiful arcs of color that appear in the sky may be known as rainbows, but they wouldn’t appear if the sun didn’t shine.
He likes women; they like him! He’s outgoing, fun-loving, and enjoys being the star of the show.
Izzy’s fun-loving and outgoing, too. She also enjoys being the center of attention, and right from the moment he meets her, Diego wouldn’t mind focusing some attention on her. But she’s just not interested.
Diego might be a romantic, but Izzy’s not one to get suckered in by hearts and flowers or talk of rainbows and unicorn farts. In her experience, the crock at the end of the rainbow is filled with something other than gold, and she has no desire to go there again.

About the author
S.J. McCoy
77 books1,057 followersHi, I'm SJ. A coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.
I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.
I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.
These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)

Great box set!
All four of these books in the set were great! I loved the fact that they were based on middle aged couples who found a second chance at a happily ever after. It was also great to see previous characters from the Summer Lake books

Never too old!
As a 86-year-old romantic, this series was a fun, sexy read. Where there’s life in old bones, there can still be a vivid imagination! These were heartwarming stories that prove love never goes out of style.

four good stories
The four books reveal happy endings even with some characters having difficult lives in the beginnings. Summer Lake seems like the ideal place to live.

good storyline
Nice to read a story about seniors getting together and not always young couples. They are good stories and looking forward to reading more in the series.

Very sweet stories. If it weren't for the fact of their kids and grandkids I wouldn't have believed they were in their 50s. but still, nice stories with no angst.
