In an all-new trilogy set in blissful Edilean, Virginia, Jude Deveraux weaves collectively the tales of three young women, close friends since college, and the lives, loves, and dreams that await them.

Sparks are traveling between Jecca Layton and Dr. Tristan Aldredge. At the urging of her dear friend Kim, Jecca place the ruthless NEW YORK art world on hold to spend the summer pursuing her passion for painting while taking pleasure in Edilean’s tightly knit creative community. For a long time, Kim’s cousin Tris-the town’s good-looking and devoted doctor-felt a deep link with Kim’s college “sister” Jecca, though that they had fulfilled only once before; right now, Jecca is swept away her foot by this strong, sensitive man within a summer of sensual delights. However when lengthy shadows announce Jecca’s return to “real life” as well as the big town, the enthusiasts must determine: Can they survive the length? And who’ll sacrifice the life they’ve designed for themselves to become together?
