He can have his pick of women, but the one he wants is Amy Maples. Fourteen years ago she was his for one whole summer, until a devastating accident changed everything and unraveled what they had, at least in her memory. Amy has always done the right thing, and she has spent years quietly hoping to win back the only man she has ever loved. She returns to Seaside for another summer with her friends, but this year she carries a life-changing opportunity waiting thousands of miles away, and she resolves to try one last time to reach Tony. Rekindling anything with him means confronting the past she has kept at bay for so long, and facing that past may bring her to her knees. Across one pivotal summer, a restless surfer and the woman he never stopped wanting circle the second chance that slipped away long ago, unsure whether old wounds will pull them together or drive them apart for good.",2015,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxq3npv0vdpfzgn2hjyarzv9.jpg?v=97f2a0019e","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxq3nptd5wefhqnrq1v1h2va.png?v=d8f4bc7d32","LMMQbPXnyE$+UHQ-x]kru6XSVYi_","4.00",1,0,"complete",false,true,[16,16,16,16,16,16,16,15,16,16],[22],{"id":23,"slug":24,"name":25,"role":26,"bio":27},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

I have been eagerly awaiting Tony and Amy’s story for some time now and from the moment I began reading I knew I would not be disappointed. This is a beautiful tale of love, healing, forgiveness and second chances.\n\nIt tells the story of two people who have loved and lost. They have maintained their friendship throughout the years; however the pain of the past has proven to be a hindrance to their moving on. After much agonizing they finally decided to take the steps needed to overcome this obstacle. Slowly and patiently they are able to heal and come to terms with their past, thus enabling them to cease their future.\n\nIt was easy empathizing with Tony and Amy. Experiencing a tragic loss is difficult, especially for ones so young. They were unable to deal with the pain and as a result, it led to years of unhappiness. There are a lot of things taking place in this story, but in the midst of it Tony and Amy’s story rang true. This was not a fairy tale read; it was true to life in every sense of the word. You will find yourself crying and laughing along with them through their journey of re-discovery. It was great to see them move past their pain and begin the healing process.\n\nThe story took me on an emotional ride that I may not soon recover from. It is an engrossing read which held my attention from beginning to end. I was made to feel as if I was a part of the story and I found myself rooting for Tony and Amy\n\nIf you are looking for a story that will engage your emotions in a satisfying way, then look no further. Seaside Secrets will do this and more.","none","rv-01kxq5es8ykw05f55jc3r4sdhn",[],"2026-07-17T04:30:49.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":133,"per_page":134,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":18},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxq3nptd5wefhqnrq1v1h2va\u002Freviews",20]
