One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

I never anticipated Charlie Florek. But Charlie Florek changed my life.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s Nan always says. And it’s true. It’s where Alice took that photo, the one that catapulted her career.

Alice has always been happiest behind the safety of her lens. But when her Nan takes a fall, Alice brings takes a break from her photography career to take them back to Barry’s Bay. Though their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat.

Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice unknowingly took his photo and now he’s all grown up. Sun-kissed 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.
