Teacher Maddie Stewart volunteers to run the family ice cream stand at the Jersey Shore, for what she hopes to be the last summer. She encounters an unexpected problem and has no choice but to hire an ex-boyfriend she dumped without warning on prom night. Contractor Tony Lombardi agrees to do a favor for his cousin and accepts a small construction job that involves a former flame. Not one to show his feelings, he takes on the work without acknowledging the past. The tight quarters of the ice cream booth increase the pair’s uneasiness more than they expect. Can their past be repaired as easily as the rotted-out floor?
Lita Harris spends her time between New Jersey and the Endless Mountains region of Pennsylvania. She even lived in Alaska for a short time just for fun.
Her two rescue dogs are always close by and travel everywhere with her.
An avid crafter, unused supplies clutter her basement and attempts at making pottery, jewelry, and stained glass are scattered throughout her house. She also makes candles and homemade soap. With enough books to stock a small library she may need to construct a building to store her literary obsession. She writes multiple genres, women’s fiction, contemporary romance, paranormal, and cozy mysteries.
I was transported to a boardwalk in New Jersey, where our heroine has offered to run the family ice cream stand for the summer. It made me want to be there! Naturally, problems ensue, and are solved in a satisfactory way. And the flavor of New Jersey Italian speech and family added a dash of authenticity.
