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. When Nan takes a fall and needs time to recover, Alice brings them both to that magical place: Barry’s Bay. 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.
