The Summer Tour

They shared everything once. Then he broke it-and now they're marching the same field again.

After everything that happened last season-a rivalry that turned into something neither of them could name, and the betrayals that ended it-Jessica thought summer would be a reset.

Joining a nationally touring drum corps means long rehearsals, endless bus rides, and a level of pressure that leaves no room to hide. For Jessica, it was supposed to be a way forward. A chance to prove she could survive outside the band room that once felt like home. But the road has a way of amplifying what you carry with you, and the past doesn't stay quiet for long-especially when it's marching twenty feet away, every single day, for the rest of the summer.

Christian is on tour for different reasons. Marching was always the one place that made sense, even when everything else didn't. What he didn't expect was to find himself sharing the field with Jessica again, or to watch his own family come apart in pieces back home while he's a thousand miles away. As the season demands more discipline, more sacrifice, and more control, he's forced to confront what he's been avoiding and what he might still lose-on the field, and off it.

As performances blur together and the miles stack up, both Jessica and Christian must face the question they've been outrunning: who are you when the structure falls away, and what happens when moving forward doesn't mean moving on?

The Summer Tour is a contemporary coming-of-age sequel to Taking the Field about endurance, healing, and learning how to carry yourself, and each other, through the seasons that change you.

Perfect for readers who loved the emotional intensity of Taking the Field and are looking for a slow-burn second-chance story set against the demanding, all-consuming world of competitive marching arts.
