In Willow Creek, summer means long days by the lake, warm nights of music, and a town-wide celebration that stirs up visitors and old memories alike.
For Maggie Lawson, the Summer Lakeside Festival is just another reminder of what she's carefully rebuilt after heartbreak. Her lakeside café keeps her busy, grounded, and focused on the present.
Until Jack Mercer comes back to town.
Jack was Maggie's first love. The one who left without looking back. Now he's home for the summer, renovating his family's old cabin and determined to prove he's no longer the man who walked away.
As fireworks light the sky and the lake reflects everything Maggie has tried to forget, she must decide if some loves are worth risking her heart for again, or if the past is better left beneath the surface.
Finding Hope in a Renegade is a sweet second-chance romance about forgiveness, homecoming, and discovering that love, like summer, is meant to be felt fully.
