The Fall of Summer by Rebecca Dale

This isn’t a fairytale.

It’s a reckoning.

The Fall of Summer

The Reckoning Duet Book 1

by Rebecca Dale

Genre: Dark Romantic Thriller

When her father locks away a powerful man, Summer Miller
becomes the one marked to pay the price.

The sheriff, Jacob Darnell, swears he’ll protect her. But he
has always blurred the line between duty and desire. His badge is her shield.
His house, her prison. His touch, the most dangerous risk of all.

In Rosefield, every promise hides a lie. Every smile
conceals a weapon.
And the closer Summer comes to escape, the deeper betrayal cuts.

Because love isn’t salvation.
It’s obsession.

And vengeance isn’t the only thing waiting in the dark.

This isn’t a
fairytale. It’s a reckoning.

What readers
are saying:

“..my first time reading Rebecca Dale, and wow… what a
read. The writing is smooth, addictive, and flows so effortlessly that it pulls
you in from the very first chapter. Add in the constant suspense, and I
genuinely couldn’t put this book down…..The plot and the angst are so well
done. I was racing through the pages desperate to know what would happen next,
while also dreading it at the same time. And that cliffhanger… absolutely
brutal. I need book two now!

I was thoroughly immersed into this world! At first I
didn’t know how this story was going to go with it being a dark romance but
saying that, this is not your typical dark romance book!
This story had me wanting to keep reading late into the night purely because
the story was intense, you got to see the different sides of characters and it
all just gelled together into one amazing story! The second half of the book for me was when
the intensity picked up, it was making my heart rate go up purely because I
wanted the happy ending the characters deserved!
I love the setting of the story and overall everything was written extremely
well for this debut author. I NEED BOOK 2 NOW!! – @katielouisepage

I was born and raised in Hull, England, where I still live
today with my four incredible children, two mischievous dogs, and a cat who
thinks she’s the boss of us all. Life in my house is busy, loud, and
wonderfully chaotic—but through it all, I’ve always had one constant: my love
for stories.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been reading and
writing. I was the kid who snuck books under the covers with a torch, the
teenager scribbling down half-finished stories in notebooks, and now the woman
whose imagination simply refuses to switch off. Stories have always been my way
of making sense of the world, and I’ve carried that passion into writing books
that dig into the messy, complicated sides of love, obsession, and survival.

When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me surrounded by
my family, walking the dogs, or curling up with a book and a cup of coffee
(probably cold by the time I get to it). I’ve always had a soft spot for
anything furry, and our house is very much a mix of kids, pets, and chaos—in
the best possible way.

My debut novel, The Fall of Summer, is the first
in The Reckoning Duet, and it’s the story that’s been tugging at my
heart for years. It’s dark, it’s emotional, and it explores what happens when
love and danger collide. My hope is that these books make you feel something
real—whether it’s your pulse racing, your heart aching, or that little shiver
down your spine when a line sticks with you long after you’ve read it.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my journey as an
indie author. I can’t wait to share these stories with you, and I hope you’ll
come along for the ride.

With love,

Rebecca Dale
