Jamie in Phases by CB Woods | Adult Contemporary Romance Signed Print Pre-order

This is a pre-order, shipping in early June 2027. Carley Fortune's Every Summer After meets The Idea of You by Robinne Lee in this nostalgic and emotionally layered second chance romance between a divorced novelist and the rockstar brother she should have chosen in the summer of 2006. Twenty years after marrying the wrong Gibbons, Jamie returns to the beach house that inspired her breakout book—only to discover that Johnny, the brother she left behind, has claimed its basement studio for his next project. Told through dual timelines, Myspace messages, and the art they created to keep their longing at bay, Jamie In Phases reminds us there are some phases we’ll never outgrow. ___ Jamie Everette married the wrong brother. She knew it back in 2006 when a whirlwind summer romance ended in a shotgun wedding, and she definitely knows it now, twenty years later, as the ink dries on the divorce papers. At least she got the beach house in the settlement. On deadline for the sequel to her bestselling novel—inspired by the summer she spent with both brothers—Jamie is back at the beach house, figuring out who she is, and who she still has time to become. But her quiet summer alone is cut short when Johnny, the early-00s rockstar-turned-producer, claims the beach house studio to work on his next project after avoiding Jamie for two decades. Reliving their past through layered flashbacks, MySpace messages, and unfinished arguments, they must finally confront the ugly truth: They were never just a phase.
