"A radiant debut."—Emily Henry,#1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers<br/><br/>THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!<br/><br/>Named One of the Hottest Reads of Summer 2022 by Today ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ USA Today ∙ SheReads ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ BookBub ∙ Bustle ∙and more!<br/><br/>Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.<br/><br/>They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.<br/><br/>Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.<br/><br/>For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.<br/><br/>When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.<br/><br/>Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

The Complete Off-Campus Series Set
Elle Kennedy • 2023
<p>*A limited collector's bundle of 5 individual titles (not boxed) with illustrated covers and blue sprayed edges on the first print run.*</p> <p>New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy brings her signature angst, humor, and spice to the icy-hot Off Campus books. The series follows a house of hockey-playing college roommates and the women who knock them off their pedestals, teaching them that love is worth more than any game-scoring goal.</p> <p>The Deal</p> <p>Hannah Wells might be confident, but she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone...even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team, Garrett Graham, in exchange for a public pretend date. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it.</p> <p>The Mistake</p> <p>For college hockey star John Logan, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance. But this time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat...and she plans on driving him wild.</p> <p>The Score</p> <p>Wild rebound sex after a breakup is definitely not the solution to Allie Hayes's problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as hell won't include the king of one-night stands. Dean has never met a woman who's immune to his charms...until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world--and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over.</p> <p>The Goal</p> <p>College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker...but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.</p> <p>The Legacy</p> <p>Four stories. Four couples. Three years of real life after graduation...</p> <p>A wedding. A proposal. An elopement. And a surprise pregnancy.</p> <p>Can you guess which Off Campus couple is which?</p>
