<p><b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author and Queen of the Beach Reads Mary Kay Andrews delivers her next blockbuster, <i>Hello Summer</i>.</b><br /><br /><b>It’s a new season... </b><br /><br />Conley Hawkins left her family’s small town newspaper, <i>The Silver Bay Beacon</i>, in the rearview mirror years ago. Now a star reporter for a big-city paper, Conley is exactly where she wants to be and is about to take a fancy new position in Washington, D.C. Or so she thinks. <br /><br /><b>For small town scandals... </b><br /><br />When the new job goes up in smoke, Conley finds herself right back where she started, working for her sister, who is trying to keep <i>The Silver Bay Beacon</i> afloat—and she doesn’t exactly have warm feelings for Conley. Soon she is given the unenviable task of overseeing the local gossip column, “Hello, Summer.” <br /><br /><b>And big-time secrets.</b><br /><br />Then Conley witnesses an accident that ends in the death of a local congressman—a beloved war hero with a shady past. The more she digs into the story, the more dangerous it gets. As an old heartbreaker causes trouble and a new flame ignites, it soon looks like their sleepy beach town is the most scandalous hotspot of the summer.</p>
