The Longest Weekend

Celebrating both the innocence of childhood summers and the hopeful promise of adulthood, this poignant, sweetly sexy, enemies-to-lovers romance set on the Jersey shore is drenched in surf, sand, and the tantalizing possibilities of looking at someone from the past in a whole new way.

As a professional bachelorette party planner, Nicolette “Lettie” Russo knows a thing or two about throwing the perfect girls’ trip. But this one is different: the bride is her longtime best friend, the groom is her brother, and the destination is the beach town she’s been avoiding for a decade—ever since Nan died and everything changed. Unfortunately, it also means facing Leo Davies, her brother’s childhood best friend turned cocky best man—and reminders of the brief but steamy “almost” moment they once shared.

Down the shore, it should be all sun, fun, and Jell-O shots for the girls—but not only has the bachelor party usurped the house Lettie rented, the boys now seem determined to turn “bachelors vs bachelorettes” into a friendly competition. Which wouldn’t be so bad if Leo wasn’t trying his hardest to get Lettie’s attention—and succeeding. . . . But when trouble in paradise begins brewing for the bride and groom, Leo and Lettie make a deal: They’ll set aside their differences and work together to save the wedding.

Yet as Lettie navigates painful memories, she finds herself putting her trust in an unlikely place, wondering if there’s more to Leo than meets the eye—and if healing just might come in the form of forgiveness and second chances . . .
