A Picture Perfect Summer - Paperback

Katie Hebert has never been able to commit to a real decision in her life. She's never had a serious boyfriend, and her inability to stick with a career means she's still living with her parents at age twenty-seven. Her only consistent decision is her burning secret crush on her brother's best friend, Jacob. Too bad he only sees her as a kid sister.
Jacob Edwards has lived the same life for nearly a decade. As a journalist for his small town newspaper, not even his story assignments have much variety. But Jacob keeps up the daily grind to care for his aging father. To the dismay of the town's single women, flirty, handsome Jacob has never settled down with any of them. How can he when his heart belongs to the one person he can never have: his best friend's little sister, Katie?
When Jacob, a reporter, and Katie, a freelance photographer, are assigned to travel and cover a series of niche North Louisiana festivals together, their forced proximity makes it nearly impossible to hide their mutual attraction. That task only grows more difficult as they are faced with a series of unfortunate events-from falling face first into crawfish, to exploding stage speakers and flat tires. And then there's an alluring photography job in Dallas that Katie has been quietly considering.
A Picture Perfect Summer is a small town, contemporary romance full of electric chemistry, sizzling spice, and fun romance tropes, including: brother's best friend, forced proximity, small town, friends to lovers, and "only one bed."
