Meet Me at the Lake

One day. One promise. Two lives changed. Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist - a chance encounter that spiralled into a daylong city adventure. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: 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, which is in disarray - and her ex-boyfriend is the manager. She needs a lifeline. To Fern`s surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives - nine years too late - with an offer to help. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern`s going through. Yet how can 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?
