One Golden SummerOne Golden Summer

Publisher Annotation: Good things happen at the lake. Thats what Alices grandmother says, and its true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeenits 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, shes most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, shes 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, Barrys 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 hes all grown upa 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 Alices 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 peoplethats why she is so good at what she doesbut shes never met someone who looks and sees her right back.
