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 there 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.
