Tessa Bailey is back with a Schitt’s Creek-inspired rom-com about a Hollywood “It Girl” who’s cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest beach town... where she butts heads with a surly, sexy local who thinks she doesn’t belong. 

Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father’s dive bar... in Washington.

Piper hasn’t even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won’t last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can’t do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She’s determined to show her stepfather—and the hot, grumpy local—that she’s more than a pretty face.

Except it’s a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there’s an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn’t want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart. 

Embark on a captivating journey of love, laughter, and self-discovery with Tessa Bailey's enchanting novel, "It Happened One Summer." Dive into the world of Piper Bellinger, a city girl with a penchant for perfection, as she finds herself stranded in a small town called Westport, Maine.

Piper's life takes an unexpected turn when she inherits a dilapidated Victorian house from a grandmother she never knew. Determined to sell the property and return to her fast-paced city life, Piper reluctantly travels to Westport. However, her plans quickly unravel as she encounters a series of misadventures and charming encounters.

Amidst the picturesque scenery of Westport, Piper crosses paths with Brendan, a gruff and enigmatic local contractor hired to renovate the house. As they work together to restore the property, sparks fly, and Piper finds herself drawn to Brendan's rugged charm and unwavering dedication to his craft.

With each passing day, Piper discovers new facets of herself as she adapts to the slower pace of small-town life. She forms unexpected bonds with the quirky townspeople and begins to appreciate the simple pleasures that Westport has to offer.
