Book Blurb:

What happens when a woman who reads “too many” romance novels decides she deserves better? She just might get it.

Summer Evans is a certified romance novel enthusiast. What started as a way to pass the time when she was a new mother turns into an epiphany. She doesn’t know if romance like that exists outside of her books, but she intends to find out. She’s ready for something new, but the child she has with her newly minted ex complicates things.

In the small town of Lakeland, the dating pool is decidedly shallow. That is until Ryan Garrett returns to set down roots in his old hometown. When Ryan and Summer meet, their chemistry feels straight out of a book, but Summer has to decide that she’s worthy of a man who worships the ground she walks on, and Ryan has to weather the storm and battle his own fears. 

While Summer and Ryan’s relationship heats up alongside the climbing temperatures of a California summer, her ex, Jared, has different plans for them. He didn’t realize what he had until it was gone, and he’s willing to do anything to get her back – even if that means leveraging their six-year-old daughter, Emma, against her. Will Summer and Ryan’s love catch flame, or will Jared’s scheming snuff out the spark?

Join Summer and Ryan on their journey to find a love that feels like coming home. Like Home is perfect for fans of swoon-worthy romance with a touch of heat and plus-sized heroines where the story is about finding true love, not just a perfect figure.
