It's hard to move on from a broken heart**--**and harder to
move on from a broken friendship.
Mikaela Marchand is living the polished life she always planned for: a
successful New York lawyer, with a promotion in her sights and a devoted
boyfriend by her side. She's come a long way from the meek teen she was
growing up in small town Georgia, but the memory of her adolescence
isn't far--in fact, it's splashed across a massive billboard in Times
Square. An old photograph of Mikaela and her former best friend, Julie,
has landed on the cover of a high-profile fashion magazine advertised
all over the city. And when Julie files a lawsuit, Mikaela is caught in
the middle as defense lawyer for the magazine.
Not only will she have to face Julie for the first time in years,
Mikaela's forced to work closely with the photographer in question: the
former love of her life--and Julie's ex-husband--Cameron Murphy. Mikaela
needs to win the case to get her promotion--and as a junior partner, she
has no margin for error. But unresolved feelings still exist between Cam
and Mikaela, and jealousy always made Julie play dirty...
With flashbacks to summers of first loves and fragile friendships,
Long Past Summer looks at the delicate and powerful thread that
binds and breaks friends and flames.
