Everything We Keep by Kerry Lonsdale

In Everything We Keep, by Kerry Lonsdale, Aimee is set to marry her childhood sweetheart, James, when he mysteriously disappears on a work trip to Mexico. They hold his funeral on what would have been their wedding day, and she is obviously devastated. Then a mysterious woman arrives claiming to be a psychic, and tells Aimee that she has proof that James is still alive, throwing her into a tailspin. How can she move on when the love of her life might still be out there, but if he is, why hasn't he contacted her? The rest of the book follows Aimee as she tries to figure that out, while also attempting to put her life back together and move on. She opens a small cafe, meets a hunky new guy, etc., and yet, could he really still be alive?

The premise of this book is fairly interesting, and Lonsdale delivers the story with good writing and well-developed characters. The final explanation goes deep into suspension-of-disbelief category, along with some unsavory Flowers in the Attic type story lines, but all in all it is a good "beach" read for your summer vacation.
