Alice never expected Charlie Florek.

Her grandmother always said good things happen at the lake, and she was right. At seventeen, Alice spent one unforgettable summer in Barry’s Bay—a summer captured forever in a single photograph of three smiling teens in a yellow speedboat. That photo changed everything.

Now a professional photographer, Alice is used to staying behind the camera, content to let others take the spotlight. But when her beloved Nan breaks her hip, Alice suggests they return to the lake for another summer together. She isn’t expecting the sudden roar of that same yellow boat… or the man steering it.

Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice first saw him through her lens. Today, he’s older, bolder, and still disarmingly charming—enough to make Nan laugh and Alice remember a time when life was simple and dreams felt limitless. Days on the water and nights under starlight with Charlie awaken something in her, but his steady, knowing gaze stirs a deeper fear:

Because while Alice has always been the one doing the looking, she’s never met someone who truly sees her in return.
