Midnights in July

After fleeing an abusive relationship in Tennessee, Paige Connaway arrives in the picturesque coastal town of Glasswell with a spot in Bradbury University's counseling program, and a determination to never look back. Between graduate school, mounting bills, and the weight of trauma she can't seem to outrun, she's barely keeping her head above water. Then there's Joseph Maverick. The reserved attorney seems to have his life perfectly together. Their late night conversations over coffee become the one constant in Paige's chaotic new beginning. Joseph offers friendship, steady guidance, and a kind of safety Paige has never known. But as their bond grows, her feelings for him become impossible to ignore. Just as Paige begins to build a life of her own, young women in Glasswell start disappearing, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth: escaping your past doesn't guarantee a future free from fear. Set against the backdrop of a charming New England town, Midnights in July is a heartfelt story about healing, chosen family, and discovering that love isn't supposed to hurt. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is start over.
