One Golden Summer
Published on: May 6, 2025
One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, is a luminous story about love, memory, and second chances by the lake.
Alice is a photographer who prefers staying behind the lens, capturing everyone else’s light. But when her beloved Nan breaks her hip, Alice returns to Barry’s Bay—the magical lakeside town where one unforgettable summer changed her life.
That summer still lives in a single photo: three teens in a yellow speedboat, full of hope and joy. And one of those teens, Charlie Florek, is back too—no longer a boy but a charming, flirtatious man who knows how to make Nan laugh and Alice feel young again.
As golden days stretch on and their connection deepens, Alice begins to question everything. Can she open her heart to someone who sees her so clearly? Or will this perfect summer stay just another beautiful memory?
With heart, humor, and sun-drenched nostalgia, One Golden Summer is a must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered what if.
