Until Then

Lifelong friends get a chance at love in McLaughlin’s heartfelt second Cape Harbor romance (after After All). Seattle attorney Rennie Wallace returns to her home town of Cape Harbor, Wash., to visit her best friend. While there, she reunites with Graham Chamberlain, the close childhood friend and college hookup for whom she’s always carried a torch—and whom she hasn’t seen in the 15 years since a tragic accident in their friend group. Though seeing Graham again resurrects Rennie’s feelings for him, she already has a boyfriend, Theo Wright. But while Rennie and Theo are on a skiing trip, she discovers a devastating secret about their relationship and texts Graham to come pick her up and drive her back to Cape Harbor. Their romance blossoms from there, with Graham and Rennie working to transform their friendship into a lasting love. Authentic, imperfect characters enhance the emotional story line. Series fans will find plenty to root for in this earnest romance. [em]Agent: Marisa Corvisiero, Corvisiero Agency. (Feb.) [/em]
