Summertime Friends (Close To You (Duology))

After graduating college, Emerson Clarke believes a summer in Europe with her best friend will be her Pinterest board dream. When her best friend unexpectedly returns home, she insists that Emerson stay and finish their trip. Being alone isn’t new to her; she had to grow up learning to take care of herself, but after one night and a perfect day with a complete stranger, she’s no longer optimistic that she wants to be alone. Liam Hayes is London’s hottest new hotel entrepreneur. When he learns that the cheeky brunette he met doesn’t believe in love, Liam is determined to change her mind by spending the rest of the summer with her. Together, they form an undeniable friendship and have one unforgettable and adventurous summer. After years of not seeing each other, Emerson runs into Liam, who is supposed to be in London. Now living in the same city, Emerson tries to ignore him and the connection she feels with him, but a series of events throws them together again and again. Forgetting Liam Hayes is a more significant challenge than she anticipated. And there is no denying that Liam feels the connection, too. But what if the connection tying them together isn’t what either of them saw coming?
