PRAISE FOR MEET ME AT THE LAKE:
 
"Meet Me at The Lake is a beautiful, heart-tugging, love story about secrets, lies, missed connections and second chances. Set against the idyllic backdrop of a family hotel on a rural lake, this novel brims with the warmth of summertime and the feeling of home. An exquisite, emotional read."—Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of Stars in an Italian Sky

“A breathtaking tale of star-crossed lovers that gripped me from page one.
Meet Me At The Lake is nostalgia, summer breeze, second chances and pure heart.”Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

“A perfect summery blend of sexy romance and second chances,
Meet Me at the Lake is a poignant waltz between evergreen pines and poplars and heartache. I fell in love with Will and Fern over and over and over again.”
Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics

“Meet Me at the Lake is a tender, sweet story that captures the joy and sorrow of growing up. Carley Fortune's latest is a love letter to moms and daughters, as well as second chances.”Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask

“Carley Fortune is the master of the love story, tapping into our most primal needs
to be valued and seen for who we really are. Meet Me At The Lake is story telling perfection."—Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script

“A completely addicting love story about the ways we find who we are and what we want amidst changing dreams and chances missed. Carley Fortune gives us another perfect summer read brimming with heart, a book to devour in a day, swept away in the nostalgia of young, sexy love.
Every Summer After fans, this will not disappoint!"—Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push
 
"Readers experience Carley Fortune's writing with all five senses. In
Meet Me At The Lake, that means you'll taste Peter's sourdough. You'll hear the sound of the trees swaying by the lake. You'll smell the gin and the watered-down tonic. You'll see Fern waiting down by the docks. And you'll feel every pulse of electricity from Will. This is a beautiful story of letting go of expectations, growing into who you're meant to become, and letting love in when you don't feel you deserve it. The perfect summer read and an excellent follow-up to Every Summer After. Carley's talent sings on every page."—Iman Hariri-Kia, author of A Hundred Other Girls

"THE quintessential book of summer. Nestled in the heart of Canada's cottage country, Fortune masterfully crafts yet another enthralling tale of love and second chances that will burrow itself deep into your soul long after the last page."
—Amy Lea, author of Exes and O’s

ABOUT MEET ME AT THE LAKE:

One day, ten years ago, two twenty-something-year-olds met, and life was never the same. 

When Fern Brookbanks meets Will Baxter, the last thing she expects is to fall (almost) in love with him over the span of a single day. 

So, when they promise to meet up one year later, Fern is eager to see what the future will hold. 

Except Will never shows up and Fern is left wondering why

Ten years later, Fern’s life looks very different than she imagined it would. 

Instead of living in the city she loves, she is back home, running her late mother’s beloved lakeside resort. 

Reluctantly, she’s forced to confront the decision she’s been afraid to think about: to stay or to sell?

And then one day a very tall, very handsome, very familiar man in an expensive suit shows up at the reception desk. 

Will Baxter. What’s even more surprising? He’s here to help with the resort.

As much as Fern wants to resist the man who broke her heart all those years ago, he is the only person who can understand what she is going through. 

As she wades through grief and the burden of a resort she has come to resent, Will becomes her lifeline.

But a lot has changed over 10 years. And one of them never showed up…
