Dylan French didn’t just step into Our Secret Summer—she stole the show the moment she appeared (topless…) 😊
At almost sixty, Dylan is poised, self-assured, and undeniably alluring. But when we meet her, life has knocked her sideways.
After a financial disaster that left her reeling, she’s hiding out at her lake house in Big Bear, trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
What she doesn’t expect is Raffo Shah—her son Connor’s best friend—walking through the door and slowly unraveling everything she thought she knew about herself.
Dylan’s romantic history has been, as Connor puts it, “an endless parade of mediocre middle-aged men.”
He’s not wrong. For years, Dylan has played it safe, settling for comfortable but forgettable relationships that never asked much of her. Enter Raffo—fierce, talented, and completely unexpected.
Their connection isn’t immediate—it’s built slowly through late-night conversations and stolen moments. Raffo makes Dylan laugh in a way she hasn’t in years. She challenges Dylan to think about what she really wants and, more importantly, what she deserves.
Writing Dylan was an absolute pleasure. She’s complicated in the best way: deeply caring but haunted by her mistakes, fiercely protective of her son but unable to resist the pull toward his best friend. And let’s not forget her dry sense of humor, which is as much her armor as her charm.
Dylan’s story is about realizing that life doesn’t stop at fifty-nine. It’s about daring to want more and refusing to settle for less. She’s the kind of woman who stays with you—and I can’t wait for you to get to know her (intimately). 🔥
