A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where
they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects,
in this breathtaking new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of
Every Summer After.
Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about
Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the
aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled
into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their
connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a
pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn't.
At thirty-two, Fern's life doesn't look at all how she once imagined it
would. Instead of living in the city, Fern's back home, running her mother's
lakeside resort-something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her
ex-boyfriend's the manager, and Fern doesn't know where to begin.
She needs a plan-a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of
Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to
help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern's going
through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage
who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is
hiding something, and Fern's not sure she wants to know what it is.
But ten
years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN ... ☺
WILL WE GET A HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
Adorable!
