NEW YORK - s4story -- Author Shelley Kassian is pleased to announce the release of her new contemporary romance, A Sea for Summer. This is the first book in her, Places in the Heart series.

Friends have a strict no-spouse rule for significant others at their seaside retreat, but this year they break with tradition.

A pastry chef, Claire's heart is breaking. Her marriage is crumbling, but her determined mother has a plan. Claire's annual friends retreat will be morphed into a couple's weekend to bring a husband and wife back together. The new couple experience at Daydream Island might be the key for a second chance at love.

A numbers guy, Peter understands he's made mistakes and he's not certain if his mother-in-law's surprising, but welcome, intervention will change anything. The division between him and his wife has grown as wide as the ocean and therapy sessions might only create more distance. But if there's hope of lessening the divide and rebuilding their life together, he'll get down on his knees and make a plea with his heart.
