FIVE FRIENDS. ONE DISAPPEARANCE. AND THE SUMMER THAT SHATTERED THEIR WORLD FOREVER...

​

Naomi Prescott never wanted to return to Tamalin Island, the isolated seaside town where she grew up. After her best friend Rua disappeared without a trace the summer after their senior year, she fled, leaving behind the tight-knit circle of girls who once felt like sisters and the only boy she ever loved. But when a long-lost photograph of Rua is discovered, the cold case is reopened.

​

Naomi comes home, reuniting with the women she left behind and the man she never stopped thinking about. As summer commences, buried personal trauma and memories resurface, and Naomi and her friends must face the truth about what really happened. But the closer they get to answers, the more dangerous the pursuit becomes; someone has been keeping secrets, and they will do anything to make sure the past stays buried.

​

THE SUMMER WE SAID GOODBYE is a gripping romantic-mystery novella and book #1 in a series, about confronting the past, rekindling lost connections, and finding the courage to uncover the truth.
