The Summer of '98

The Summer of '98

Summary

Two people from opposite sides of town. One long hot summer...

Before the epic romance of the hit romance The QB Bad Boy and Me, there was the story of Drayton's Lahey's parents, Leroy and Ellie, and the one summer that changed everything.

It's the year 1998 and seventeen-year-old Ellie is about to have the summer of her life with her new boyfriend, Leroy.

Even though they are from two different worlds and two very different families, their love is one of a kind. But between troublesome brothers and strict parents, rowdy parties and epic concerts, Ellie and Leroy will discover that there is more in store for them that summer than they could have ever imagined.

The sizzling stand-alone prequel to Wattpad hit THE QB BAD BOY AND ME.
