Some ideas are not as half-baked as they first appear... Nathan Fresher thought he'd travel the world. Instead, he's stuck running his late father's bakery in sleepy Crumbington-a village where excitement means choosing jam or cream first on your scone. Now ten years in, Nathan's summer fête duties are just another stale tradition-until a new chairperson flips everything on its head. A naked calendar starring the local football team? Hollywood heartthrob Clifton O'Keefe returning to open the event? It's enough to make anyone drop their dough. Trouble is, Clifton isn't just a celebrity-he's Nathan's secret high school sweetheart. And now Nathan, captain of the team, has to rally his mates to bare all while keeping his past (and his panic) in check. Enter Jaymes Wynter: Polly's annoyingly cheerful cousin, an environmentalist with a knack for getting under Nathan's skin-and under his guard. As Jaymes offers his unexpected support, Nathan finds himself balancing old flames, cheeky calendars, and a slow-burning connection he never saw coming. Charming, heartwarming, and wickedly funny, The Fête of Summer is a celebration of second chances, small-town pride, and the sweet magic of letting go.
