In the wake of an early December snowstorm, Aries Constantine makes his morning jog across the sand of a quiet Cape Cod beach. No one lives on the beach in the winter. Aries is all alone for his morning run, or at least, he thinks so. On this cold December morning, he meets a mysterious young woman on the beach. But who is she? Where did she come from? And how does she know his secret? How does she know about the life he thought he left behind? Lights of Summer: The Will to Play is the first installment in the Lights of Summer series, a thrilling and uplifting tale of hope, love, sex, rediscovered dreams, and the sport of baseball.
