***New York Times* bestselling author and Queen of the Beach Reads Mary Kay Andrews delivers her next blockbuster, *Hello Summer*.** **It’s a new season…** * * * Conley Hawkins left her family’s small town newspaper, *The Silver Bay Beacon* , 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. **For small town scandals…** 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 *The Silver Bay Beacon* 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.” **And big-time secrets.** ** ** 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.
