By Carley Fortune.
An amazing story served with a huge helping of heart and soul. The first page snagged me and I couldn’t let go until the end. It has everything you could want in a romance novel, and then some.
When her mother passes away unexpectedly, Fern Brookbanks finds herself at the family’s lakeside resort as its new owner. It’s an unwanted legacy, but one that is intricately entwined into her life. Fern discovers the business is floundering, and her mother had hired a consultant—Will Baxter—to help turn it around. Will Baxter, the artist Fern met ten years ago. The same Will Baxter who captured her heart on an epic one-day tour of the city, then broke it a year later.
She’s reluctant to let him back into her life, but the resort needs more help than she can give. He’s willing to assist and stays on for the summer. As they work through the challenges of running the resort, the spark they once shared is rekindled. But family expectations threaten to tear their relationship apart, forcing each of them to find the courage to live the life they desire.

One of my favorite reads, “Meet Me at the Lake,” is a second-chance romance by Carley Fortune.
