Letters to the Last Summer

When aspiring novelist Tessa returns to the coastal cottage she inherited from her grandmother, she stumbles upon a box of unsent letters written by a man named Owen — all addressed to her. The catch? They’re dated from ten years ago, during the one summer they spent together as teenagers. Now, with Owen back in town and secrets surfacing, Tessa must decide whether to reopen the past or protect her heart.

The cottage looked exactly the same as it had ten years ago — maybe a little more weather-worn, but still standing stubbornly against the wind. Tessa adjusted the strap of her duffel bag and pushed open the creaking front door. The salty scent of the ocean flooded her senses, carrying memories she hadn’t invited back. She hadn’t planned to return to Seaglass Cove. If it weren’t for her grandmother’s will — and the clause stating the cottage couldn’t be sold until after one full summer’s stay — she’d still be back in the city, wrapped in deadlines and writer’s block. But here she was, standing in a living room frozen in time, surrounded by lace curtains, faded wallpaper, and an old wooden clock that still ticked with a stubborn rhythm.
