BOOK SUMMARY:

Power. Money. Control. Love.
He has all but one.
When movie star, Evan Carlson, discovers his girlfriend’s picture with another man splashed on the cover of gossip magazines, he decides he’s had enough of his fishbowl life and attempts to outrun the media frenzy his relationships have become. Driving until the road stops, he ends up on the remote and quaint Perry Island, where a heartthrob can blend in like the locals and be a beach bum as long as he wants. All that changes when Evan meets Haven Owen, aspiring songwriter and the girl he just can’t get enough of. A summer romance turns into something much deeper and Evan gets tangled in his own web of lies to keep Haven in his life. But when his ex tracks him down, Evan learns there are some things you just can’t outrun.

Is the cost of love, losing all control?

Author Information


T.A. Foster is a Southern girl whose heart and spirit are connected to the beach. She grew up catching rays and chasing waves along the North Carolina Outer Banks and now resides in the state with her adventurous pilot husband, two children and two canine kiddos.

Her long love affair with books started at an early age, and as soon as she was able, she transformed imaginative stories into words on paper. Time Spell is T.A.’s debut novel, and the first in a series about a very adventurous, clever, and magical girl named Ivy.

T.A. has an undergraduate degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a graduate degree in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M University. When she’s not chasing her two-legged and four-legged children or trying to escape for date night, you can find her reading, writing or planning her next beach trip.

Top 10 things you need to pack if you’re going to escape to an island for the summer
In Finding Haven Evan didn’t prepare for his trip to Perry Island. He took off with nothing more than a duffle bag and a pile of cash. Sometimes we all need an island escape just to take a breather from the pressures in our lives. So, if you’re planning a runaway island exit (and not the stranded-on-an-island type), here are some things you might want to consider before you disappear for a few months with your toes in the sand and the wind in your hair.

1.     Big Sunglasses You definitely don’t want to be recognized. Find the biggest sunglasses you can. You know the ones you see the Olsen twins sporting.
2.     Books You’re going to have some down time, so make sure you have some entertainment. There’s nothing better than going to the beach with a good summer read. You might be there awhile—take a few.
3.     Playlist Every summer needs its own soundtrack. Get yours ready before you hit the road. One day you’ll hear one of those songs and think back to your great summer days (and maybe the nights).
4.     Sunscreen A summer at the beach means you need lots of sun protection. The lobster look still isn’t in.
5.     Hair Product Beach hair is in, but depending on your hair you might need help taming the extra waves the beach brings.
6.     Cash Part of staying under the radar is making sure you don’t reveal your real name. Use cash when you can and keep those credit card splurges low.
7.     Flip-flops Island life means wearing flip-flops or no shoes at all. Take two pair: one comfy and one stylish. You won’t need anything else.
8.     Cover Story Figure out your cover story before you end up on the island. Make sure you don’t change it up over the summer. Consistency is key to staying incognito.
9.     Beach Bag You definitely need a place to keep all of the above items. Snag a cute straw bag that you can use at the beach and if you go out for the night. Think versatility like Day and Night Barbie. There’s always a beach bar or two on any island where you can meet some locals and forget why you even wanted to get lost.
10. Journal Just like having that soundtrack embedded in your memory, one day you’re going to want to look back on the summer you set out on your own and lived life to its fullest. Write down every fun, pensive, and hot moment. You never know…one day it may be the beginning of an excellent book ;-)
