Dog-Eared Daydreams

The Summer I First Saw You (The Summer #5) by Elizabeth O'Roark Release Date: August 29, 2024 About The Summer I First Saw You An angsty, age gap, forbidden romance from bestselling author Elizabeth O’ Roark. Once upon a time, my buddy’s niece was a toddler in a swim diaper following me around the beach. Now Daisy’s twenty-one, the loveliest thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, and blackmailing me into letting her stay for the summer. If she’s not bent over on my deck in yoga pants, she’s in a bikini that covers far less. She makes me laugh when I want to stay pissed off and forces me to remember all the things I used to love. If only she wasn’t so damn young and so incredibly off-limits. The sizzling tension between us is getting harder to resist, but giving in would destroy some of my oldest friendships. Worst of all, though? It might destroy Daisy too. Add The Summer I First Saw You on BookBub and  Goodreads . Purchase Links Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon...
