I am thrilled today to show you the cover for Brandy Bruce’s new book The Last Summer! But before we get to the big reveal, here’s a little more info:
For twenty-something Sara Witherspoon and her group of friends, a perfect Southern summer includes lake house getaways, wedding planning, outdoor concerts, and a dash of romance. But for this unique gang of seven friends who love each other like family, this year, summer rolls in with a host of changes for everyone.
When Sara’s longtime crush and closest friend, Luke, begins seriously dating another girl in the group, she’s forced into a situation of dealing with hurt and jealousy, while outwardly trying to support her friends. Throw an unexpected handsome pilot from North Carolina into the mix, as well as an old flame, and Sara’s life gets even more complicated.
As time unfolds, Sara and the others are presented with the reality of what a season of change can do to close friends.
Brandy Bruce is a mother, a wife, a book editor, an author, and someone who seriously loves dessert. Originally from Texas, she now makes her home in Colorado with her husband and three children. She’s the author of Looks Like Love, The Romano Family Collection, and The Last Summer.

I wrote the first draft of this novel during my very first year of college! Over the years I’ve rewritten and rewritten this story. While my writing style changed and a few details, the heart and soul of the story never changed.
A couple of years ago, while pregnant with my third child, I decided to start with a blank page and rewrite it one last time. And that is the version Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas took a chance on.
This year marks twenty years since these seven characters first came to me. They’ve stayed with me this long, and here we are, just a few weeks from release date. I can’t even tell you how excited I am. Seeing this book finally make its way into the hands of readers is a dream come true for me!
Are you ready to see the gorgeous cover?!?
