    Summary:

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune returns to the shores of Barry's Bay in this sparkling new summer getaway. 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 blue 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.
