About this ebook

Get ready to fall in love with a heartwarming later-in-life romance in SJ McCoy's Walking on Sunshine, the eleventh book in the beloved Summer Lake Silver series.

 

Damon, a former Marine, is struggling after a difficult divorce, but he's found solace in his new home in Summer Lake. He’s taken on two jobs to keep himself busy, working as a personal trainer during the day and bartending at Taryn's restaurant at night.

 

Jo has recently retired from her job as a portfolio manager and moved to Four Mile Creek to start a new chapter in her life. She’s done with her stressful career – and with her stressful marriage to a ruthlessly successful fund manager.

 

When Damon and Jo run into each other around town, they feel an instant connection. However, they don't believe the other could possibly be interested in them. Damon sees a high-powered businesswoman, and Jo sees a free spirit who doesn’t have time for a woman in his life – and who wouldn’t choose her if he did.

 

Fate brings them together when Jo hires a personal trainer and is shocked to find that it's Damon. As they work out together, they quickly become close friends. As they navigate their feelings for each other, they must also face the challenges of Damon's not-so-ex-wife and Jo's grown kids, who desperately want to reunite their parents.

 

The magic of Summer Lake is strong, with the support of good friends and the idyllic setting, but these two will have to navigate their pasts before they can hope to find happiness together in the present.

 

With its delightful cast of characters, feel-good storyline, and charming small town setting, Walking on Sunshine is the perfect read for anyone who believes in the power of love and the joy of finding it later in life. Sit back, relax, and let the magic of Summer Lake sweep you away.

 

Summer Lake Silver romances find happily ever afters for those who remember being thirty-something—vaguely.

Just because a few decades—or more—have skipped by since you were in your twenties it doesn’t mean you can’t find love, does it? Featuring couples in their fifties and older SJ McCoy’s seasoned romance series proves you don’t have to pack your heart away with the old photos.

Ratings and reviews

I always enjoy this author's books and this one didn't disappoint. The characters become real on the pages. I absolutely loved Damon and Jo’s story. These two are just what the other needs. Theirs is a great second chance romance that captivated me from the beginning. A really great read.

This is the 11th book in this phenomenal series, and this is Damon and Jo’s story. Damon is a former marine, who is struggling after a difficult divorce, and he finds solace when he moves to Summer Lake, while Jo has recently retired and moves to Four Mile Creek for a fresh start. There is an instant connection between Damon and Jo, but can they overcome the curveball in their path? This is a well written story which is easy to read, with family, friendships, humor, witty banter, challenges, rom

I'm 52yrs old, I can only hope I finally meet someone like Damon. That I could spend the rest of my life with. This book gave me hope.

About the author

Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.

 

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.

 

I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.

 

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
