Summertime Blues

Maggie Holt had never stopped loving Tanner Baines, no matter how hard she tried.  She was a girl from the wrong side of the tracks and he was a wealthy “lake kid” who’d won her heart during several long, sultry summers when they were both young.  But Tanner had thrown their love away at the end of that last summer and married someone else, a girl with all the right connections, a girl who was Maggie’s nemesis.  Now, fourteen years after leaving Lake Chinook, Tanner was suddenly back.  Though Maggie wanted to hate him, she just couldn’t, even though Tanner still held secrets from the past – the same secrets that had ripped them apart so long ago and still had the power to destroy their happiness.  Though Maggie tells herself to forget him – she’s had enough summertime blues for a lifetime – she forces Tanner to reveal the soul-destroying barrier that has kept them from being together all this time and finds a way to love him again.
