"The perfect escape for readers wanting to get away."—Booklist

One woman takes the vacation of a lifetime in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold a family together from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.
Single mom Robyn Caldwell needs a new plan for her future. She has always put her family first. Now, with her kids grown, she yearns for a change. But what can she do when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won't even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could ruin everything?
Take a vacation, of course. Press reset. When her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane to sunny California.
But it's hard to get away when you're the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she loves follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn't feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more possibilities she sees—for dreams, love, family. She can have everything she ever wanted, if only she can muster the courage to take a chance on herself.

Don't miss #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's latest masterpiece, For the Love of Summer, a captivating story that weaves together the complexities of family, friendship, and unexpected bonds.

        Robyn Caldwell is at a crossroads. Her children are grown and out of the house, so it's just her in the too-large mansion she got in the divorce settlement four years ago. With her kids having their own lives and an ex-husband embroiled in an unsettling relationship, Robyn realizes there's nothing keeping her in Florida. When her elderly great-aunt Lillian invites her to her palatial home in Santa Barbara, California, Robyn accepts the invitation. Mason Bishop is an army vet of twenty-five years who has no roots. When his uncle's wife, Lillian, invites him to the family estate he is set to inherit upon her death, Mason takes her up on the offer. There he meets Lillian's niece Robyn, and the stars and moon collide. But past hurt and broken trust may keep the two from realizing the love they could have together. Mallery's latest contemporary romance (after The Stepsisters, 2021) has the family dynamics, heartfelt introspection, and emotional truths that keep readers coming back. The perfect escape for readers wanting to get away.
