She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist - a chance encounter that spiralled into a daylong adventure in the city.

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 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. But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?..........................................Praise for Carley Fortune:'A radiant debut' Emily Henry'The magic and romance of summer is palpable' Popsugar'Your next must-read beach-read' Ashley Audrain'A sweet story about second chances, and how the future we imagine for ourselves is never quite what it turns out to be' Jodi Picoult'Perfect for those who covet steamy summer dock days and second-chance love stories.
