A radiant, new escape to the lake from #1 New York Times bestselling
author Carley Fortune
I never anticipated Charlie Florek.
Good things happen at the lake. That's what Alice's grandmother says,
and it's true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was
seventeen--it's where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers
in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she's most comfortable
on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she's been itching
for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with
a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry's Bay. But as
soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar
yellow boat, and the man driving it.
Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now
he's all grown up--a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice
long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was
just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are
a balm for Alice's soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze
directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart.
Because Alice sees people--that's why she is so good at what she
does--but she's never met someone who looks and sees her right back.
*Charlie is the brother from Every Summer After!
We remember him as Sam's big brother.
Adorable!
