"Just like the moon called the tides, she had called me home. To her." Serious, by-the-book Eli Wyatt has life all figured out. He’s got a five-year plan, his future in the Coast Guard, and friends who always have his back. And then Ava Abrams breezes into his life, tempting him in ways he can’t shake A free spirit, Ava’s on the run, heading in the direction of her dreams. She's set her heart on Juilliard and country music stardom, not a happily ever after with a man she’s just met. Still, there’s something about gorgeous and enigmatic Eli that tugs at her soul. Just as they start to fall, they’re forced into a goodbye that leaves only the memories of a fairytale summer. Four years later, Eli stumbles into a bar with Ava on stage. And once again, she’s like a siren calling to him. Will he make the same mistake and let her slip away? Or will he build a new dream with her at its center? From award-winning author, LJ Evans, comes a story of dreams lost and remade inspired by Luke Bryan’s “Sunrise, Sunburn Sunset.” If you like vibrant characters and poetic prose, you won’t want to miss this slow burn, summer beach read.

Award winning author, LJ Evans, lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's been writing, almost as a compulsion, since she was a little girl and will often pull the car over to write when a song lyric strikes her. A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days reading and writing, as well as binge-watching original shows like Ted Lasso, Wednesday, Veronica Mars and Stranger Things. If you ask her the one thing she won’t do, it’s pretty much anything that involves dirt—sports, gardening, or otherwise. But she loves to write about all of those things, and her first published heroine was pretty much involved with dirt on a daily basis. Which is exactly what LJ loves about fiction novels—the characters can be everything you’re not and still make their way into your heart. Find out more about LJ and her books at www.ljevansbooks.com
