It takes seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget, and then another seven days to reclaim everything.
Eva Mercy is a successful erotica writer and single mother who feels pressured in every direction. To everyone's amazement, award-winning author Shane Hall, who lives a secretive and mysterious life, turns up in New York.
When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that fifteen years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. They can't deny their chemistry or the fact that they have been secretly writing to each other in their books for years, even if they may be acting as though they don't know one other.
Eva and Shane reunite over the course of the next seven days during a sweltering Brooklyn summer, but Eva is cautious of the guy who shattered her heart and wants him to leave the city so that everything can go back to normal. She needs some answers, however, before Shane vanishes...
Seven Days in June is a clever, passionate, and seductive tale of two authors finding love again, complete with astute insights of contemporary American creative life and the pleasures and complexities of motherhood and daughterhood.
