Some Love Lasts - Hardcover

by Tim Hunniecutt (Author)

Fourteen-year-old Madi arrives at her grandparents' Florida beach condo expecting quiet days, books, and sunsets over the Gulf. She doesn't expect Matthew-the older boy next door with the swimmer's build, the calm confidence of a lifeguard, and a way of stepping into danger without hesitation.

Matthew saves lives for a living. He's admired, watched, and talked about-but when he looks at Madi, he sees her in a way no one ever has. As the heat of summer builds, so does a connection neither of them knows how to name. What begins as innocent fascination deepens into something powerful, intense, and unforgettable.

Then a hurricane tears through the coast.

In the chaos and fear, Matthew risks everything in a rescue that brands itself into Madi's heart-an act of courage that defines what love means to her, long after summer ends and they're forced apart.

Years later, they meet again in college.

They aren't the same people they were that summer. Madi is no longer the girl content to be swept along by emotion, and Matthew is no longer untouched by the consequences of being wanted and admired. The pull between them is still there, but so are doubt, pride, and the quiet fear that first love may not survive real life.

Some love changes you.

Some love tests you.

And some love-if you're brave enough-lasts.

Some Love Lasts is a sweeping, emotionally rich romance about first love, heroic courage, and the kind of connection that refuses to fade with time. Perfect for readers who love nostalgic beach settings, deeply felt relationships, and stories that linger long after the final page.
