Pieces of Summer

Mika Dalton has spent every summer of her life visiting her father in the small Georgia town of Hayden, and every one of those summers has meant Chase James. What starts as childhood friendship deepens into first love as the years pass, told across dual timelines that weave their past together with a present neither of them expected. Raw and painful in places, the story doesn't shy away from mental health struggles even as it searches for something real underneath.

C.M. Owens delivers a standalone second-chance romance about a love built one summer at a time.
