I never anticipated Charlie Florek. But Charlie Florek changed my life.
Good things happen at the lake. That's what Alice's Nan always says. And it's true. It's where Alice took that photo, the one that catapulted her career.
But when Nan falls, Alice puts down her camera and heads back to Barry's Bay. No camera. No deadlines. Quiet... until he shows up.
Charlie Florek. He was nineteen when she accidentally photographed him. Now he's back - taller, hotter, and somehow even more unforgettable.
Sun-soaked days, slow-burning nights - and when Charlie looks at her like that, Alice starts to wonder if her heart's in danger.
She's spent her life seeing others. But no one's ever truly seen her...until now.
Return to the world of EVERY SUMMER AFTER, but this time it's Charlie's turn to fall in love...
