Four books in, and Windy Harbor is still delivering the emotional romance, family chaos, and small town charm that keeps me coming back.

Release date: July 9, 2026

Publisher: Willow Aster

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Narrator: Megan Wicks and Gideon Frost

Synopsis:

A steamy, second-chance, small-town, hockey romance full of heartbreak, heat, and the one he could never quite let go of from USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.

Running into Lola Donavan wasn’t exactly on my summer agenda—not after she broke my heart in college. But there she is, at my family’s resort…with her new boyfriend. And not just any boyfriend—my hockey rival. Perfect.

Seeing Lola again is a punch to the gut. She’s even more beautiful than I remember, and the second our eyes meet, I know my feelings aren’t as buried as I’ve pretended. I tell myself it doesn’t matter, that whatever we had is long gone. But one look at her and I know I’m lying to myself.

Then fate throws us into each other’s path again—no boyfriend, no dissecting the past, just the two of us and a spark that instantly reignites. One night together proves the chemistry between us never died.

But desire is the easy part. Trust? Not so much.

She walked away once without a word, and it still haunts me. Now that she’s back in my life, I don’t know which is more dangerous—letting myself fall for her all over again, or bracing for the moment she leaves and breaks me a second time.Endless Summer Nights is book four in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.

Review:

One of my favorite things about the Windy Harbor series is how each new book makes the town feel even more lived in, and Endless Summer Nights might be the strongest example yet.

Lola and Tully’s history adds so much emotional depth to the story. Seeing their relationship unfold through dual timelines made every reunion, misunderstanding, and heartfelt conversation land that much harder. I loved slowly uncovering what happened between them while watching them navigate a much more emotionally mature relationship in the present.

As the series grows, one of the biggest joys is spending time with familiar faces again. Seeing couples from earlier books settled into their happily ever afters gave me so many little “aww” moments, and the sibling banter continues to be one of my favorite parts of this family. Their teasing, loyalty, and genuine affection make Windy Harbor feel like a place I’d happily visit again and again.

I also have to mention the audiobook because it completely swept me away. Megan Wicks is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators. I’ve only listened to a handful of her performances so far, but every one leaves me wanting more. Gideon Frost has such a smooth, almost hypnotic voice that was absolutely perfect for Tully. Together they brought so much warmth and emotion to an already heartfelt romance.

If you’ve been following the Windy Harbor series, I think this installment rewards longtime readers while still delivering a satisfying standalone love story.
