ABOUT
Summer Beckett is as temporary as the season she’s named after. While she’s accepted that she’s never the chosen one when it comes to her personal life, she’s determined to get there in her video production career. When a family friend tells her about a high-profile freelance gig that promises to make her more in-demand, she leaps at the opportunity.
That is, until she finds out the client is Dylan Parker, Major League Baseball’s most charming pitcher, her brother’s best friend…and the man she nearly kissed two years ago, until she realized nothing permanent would come from it. She’s been avoiding him ever since, but now he’s insisting she’s the only person he trusts with this project.
Taking the job means being in unbearable proximity to Dylan for a month, nearly the exact circumstances that almost cost Summer her heart last time. But it also means putting her work in front of a massive audience—just what she needs to level up professionally. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leaving her no choice but to sign on.
Summer knows her time with Dylan is short-lived, as are the benefits they add to their friendship when their connection inevitably heats up. But Dylan keeps pulling her closer, and as the end of the month approaches, she has to decide if she’s brave enough to believe they can have something extraordinary…and lasting.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
