#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of spending summers in cottage country, on the glittering lakeshore of her childhood, she stays in a stylish apartment in Toronto, keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until Percy receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without. For six summers during their youth, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm nights working in his family’s restaurant, Percy and Sam had been inseparable. And when Percy returns to the lake, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until she can confront the decisions she made, they’ll never know whether their love is bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years in the past and one weekend in the present, Every Summer After is a gorgeously romantic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever. Get a glimpse into Charlie's story in a sneak peek from Carley Fortune's fourth novel, One Golden Summer.

One golden summer / by Fortune, Carley,author.;
"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 smiling teenagers in a yellow boat, the image that changed her life. Always more comfortable on the sidelines, adult Alice has turned her fear of rejection into a dazzling career as a portrait photographer. She's happiest behind the safety of her lens, letting other people shine. Alice loves her work, but even she'd admit she desperately needs a break. So when Nan takes a fall and needs time to recover, Alice brings them both to that magical place: Barry's Bay. But as soon as they settle, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he's all grown-up -- a reckless, charismatic flirt, who manages to bring joy to Nan's face and make Alice want to step out of her comfort zone. 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."--
