Meet Me at the Lake — Carley Fortune

Meet Me at the Lake is a poignant romance where past promises echo against the calm of a lakeside retreat.

Ten years ago, Fern’s heart belonged entirely to Will Baxter, a gifted artist she met by chance in Toronto. He promised to meet her at the lake in one year — but he never showed up.

Now, Fern returns to the resort town that once belonged to her mother, hoping to heal old wounds and finally move forward. But unexpectedly, Will reappears, carrying a suitcase and offering help. She is not sure whether she can trust him — because the man she meets today is very different from what she remembers.

This novel is about loss, hope, forgiveness, and whether one can give a second chance to someone who forever changed you.
