The Last Summer I Loved - Paperback

by Kathy Winslower (Author)

Juliet "Jules" Montclair has everything-a last name that means luxury in Toronto's elite auto industry, access to the best cars money can buy, and a future mapped out for her. Her father owns Montclair & Motors, a high-end dealership and manufacturer, and she's expected to inherit the empire. But Jules doesn't want to sell cars-she wants to build them, race them, feel the asphalt burn beneath her tires.

On the other side of the city, Romeo "Romy" Cruzer grew up in an autobody shop that doesn't just fix cars-it makes them disappear. Cruzer Auto & Body has a reputation, one Romy never asked for. Sure, he's the best at boosting luxury cars and flipping them, but all he really wants is to build something of his own-away from the life his family is trapped in.

Their worlds collide at Toronto's most dangerous underground race. Jules, testing out a modified car she built in secret, takes on the city's best driver- her cousin Tyson "Ty" Vega. While Romy was only there to scope out a potential "job," he watches in awe as she leaves them all in the dust. He doesn't realize she's that Montclair-until later, when her father announces a city-wide crackdown on "criminal" auto businesses. His family's shop is target #1.

The Last Summer I Loved is a modern-day Romeo & Juliet x Fast & Furious reimagining-fast cars, forbidden love, and a summer that changes everything.
