Meet Me at the Lake

Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. 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 hasn't turned out how she imagined it. She's back home running her mother's lakeside resort in disarray with her ex-boyfriend as the manager.

The surprise comes when Will arrives—nine years too late—with an offer to help. Can Fern trust this expensive suit-wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago? A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects.
