28 Summers - Elin Hilderbrand

Their secret love affair has lasted for years - but this will be the summer that changes everything.

When Mallory Blessing's son, Link, receives her deathbed instructions to call a number on a slip of paper in a desk drawer, he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It's the late spring of 2020, and Jake's wife, Ursula de Gournsey, is the front-runner in the upcoming presidential election.

  Link is sure there's been a mistake. How do Mallory and Jake know each other?

  Flash back to the sweet summer of 1993: Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage on Nantucket from her aunt, and she agrees to host her brother Cooper's college bachelor party. Cooper's college friend Jake McCloud attends, and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere--through marriage, children, and Ursula's stratospheric political rise--until Mallory learns she's dying.

  Inspired by the film Same Time, Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers is the unforgettable story of an unconventional love that knows only one season.
