Carley Fortune

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 Toronto. 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 Muskoka 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?

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.

This summer they’ll keep their promise. This summer they won’t give into temptation. This summer will be different. Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again. It’s easier said than done. Each year, Lucy escapes to PEI for a big breath of coastal air, fresh oysters and crisp vinho verde with her best friend, Bridget. Every visit begins with a long walk on the beach, beneath soaring red cliffs and a golden sun. And every visit, Lucy promises herself she won’t wind up in Felix’s bed. Again. If Lucy can’t help being drawn to Felix, at least she’s always kept her heart out of it. When Bridget suddenly flees Toronto a week before her wedding, Lucy drops everything to follow her to the island. Her mission is to help Bridget through her crisis and resist the one man she’s never been able to. But Felix’s sparkling eyes and flirty quips have been replaced with something new, and Lucy’s beginning to wonder just how safe her heart truly is.

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 glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she 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, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever. Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.

Una coincidencia hace que dos desconocidos vivan una aventura de un único día y se hagan una promesa que solo uno cumple. La nueva novela de la autora superventas de Todos nuestros veranos, Carley Fortune. Fern Brookbanks ha malgastado demasiados años pensando en Will Baxter. Pasó solo veinticuatro horas con el artista en un día fortuito de aventuras por Toronto. Se confiaron sus sueños y secretos y prometieron reencontrarse un año después. Fern acudió a la cita. Will, no. Ahora, ella vive en la casa de su niñez, regenta el resort de su madre en Muskoka, que está hecho un desastre, y necesita un salvavidas. Para su eterna sorpresa, su deseo se cumple cuando Will aparece, nueve años tarde, con una maleta y una oferta para ayudarla. Pero ¿cómo va a fiarse ella de ese hombre trajeado que se parece tan poco al que conoció? Will oculta algo, y Fern no está segura de querer saber qué. Sin embargo, hace años él la rescató. Y puede que haya llegado la hora de que ella le devuelva el favor.

Sono passati dieci anni da quando Persephone Fraser si è lasciata alle spalle i ricordi felici dell’infanzia, le estati magiche in riva al lago... e il suo primo grande amore. Ora si è trasferita in città, dove ha costruito una carriera stabile e nel tempo libero si diverte a uscire con gli amici: nella sua vita c’è poco spazio per l’amore. Ma una telefonata inaspettata rimette in discussione ogni cosa: Percy deve tornare a Barry’s Bay, dove ha trascorso sei estati indimenticabili, e dove aveva giurato a sé stessa che non avrebbe mai più rimesso piede. I ricordi delle notti stellate, delle corse a perdifiato e soprattutto di lui, Sam Florek, riaffiorano come se il tempo si fosse fermato. È lì che tutto ha avuto inizio. E se questa fosse l’occasione per cambiare il corso del destino?eo.

Een pact om elkaar een jaar later weer te ontmoeten. Zij kwam. Hij was negen jaar te laat. Tien jaar geleden bracht Fern vierentwintig uur door met Will Baxter in Toronto. Er was een onmiskenbare klik, maar de timing had niet slechter kunnen zijn. Ze spraken af om elkaar precies één jaar later weer te zien. Fern kwam opdagen. Will niet. Jaren later heeft Fern haar droom om het in de grote stad te maken moeten opgeven. Ze verhuist terug naar Barry's Bay om in het resort van haar moeder te werken, waar nota bene haar ex-vriendje de manager is. Fern kan geen kant op. Dan arriveert Will in het slaperige dorpje, een koffer en een aanbod om Fern te helpen én iets te verbergen. Kan ze hem weer vertrouwen?
