Pink Sand Summer - Paperback

by Chassity Evans (Author)

On a pink-sand island where everyone knows your story, one summer brings her face-to-face with the love that once broke her and a man who makes her question what comes next.

Lucy returns to her grandmother's beloved island house on Harbour Island planning to get her footing and figure out what it means to inherit not just a home, but a life that still echoes in every room. What she finds instead is a summer that pulls her straight back into the love, and the version of herself she thought she'd left behind.

Jack is history. Familiar and devastating in all the ways that matter. He knows Lucy without asking, carries years of shared summers and unfinished conversations, and still holds a piece of her heart she never quite got back, no matter how hard she tried.

Noah arrives on the island with a guitar and a way of paying attention that catches Lucy off guard. New to Harbour Island, he feels unclaimed by her history. He asks unexpected questions and makes her curious about who she might be becoming, without offering any guarantees.

As island life fills her days, Lucy's focus keeps getting pulled back into the familiar orbit of friends and routines, and toward Jack, in ways that feel accidental but never quite are. Afternoons meant for painting slip sideways, the pressure of her upcoming island show building as distraction becomes harder to resist.

Dinner parties stretch late, conversations tangle as Lucy finds herself in the same room with both men at once. Then one unforgettable evening at Graham Vale's storied home shifts her understanding of the past, and what she wants for her future.

Drawn deeper into Harbour Island's rhythm and the people who make it feel like home, Lucy inches toward a choice she can't avoid. Because choosing wrong would mean leaving behind more than a summer. It would mean losing the life she's only just beginning to imagine.

Set entirely on the dreamy shores of Harbour Island, The Bahamas, Pink Sand Summer is an immersive escape about love in all its forms. Romantic. Platonic. And the kind that roots you to a place forever. It's a heartfelt, comfort-forward beach read for anyone who believes the right summer, with the right people, can change everything.
