Strălucirea unei zile de vară

Alice returns to Barry’s Bay with her grandmother, seeking a quiet summer beside the lake. Her grandmother has broken her hip after a fall. Alice hopes the stay will help her recover. But Charlie Florek arrives in a yellow boat and upsets their plans.

Alice first took Charlie’s picture when she was seventeen. He was nineteen, sharing the boat with two other teens. Back then, she took photos for fun. Now she works as a photographer and keeps out of view. She helps others draw notice but wants more from her own life.

Charlie has grown into a bold, handsome man with green eyes. He makes her grandmother laugh and stirs Alice’s feelings. As they spend time by the lake, she starts to trust him. Yet his interest leaves her afraid of getting hurt. She is used to seeing others, not feeling seen herself.

This romance by Carley Fortune is for readers of summer love stories. It explores desire, trust, and the bond between Alice and her grandmother. The novel shares a fictional world with Vara iubirii noastre. Fortune’s books have reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
