Tessa Bailey’s It Happened One Summer is a vibrant, Schitt’s‑Creek‑inspired romance about Piper Bellinger, a glamorous, directionless LA socialite exiled to a small Pacific Northwest fishing town, where she clashes—and slowly falls for—Brendan Taggart, a gruff, steady sea captain. As Piper confronts her past, learns responsibility, and discovers who she is outside of wealth and image, the chemistry between her and Brendan deepens into a relationship built on growth, vulnerability, and genuine connection.
