ONE GOLDEN SUMMER follows Alice Everly as she summers at the lake she spent time at when she was a teenager.

She meets the boy across the bay that she once photographed in those early days. Cocky and kind Charlie Floreck gets under her skin immediately, and they become inseparable as they cross off items on her summer bucket list. However, all good things must come to an end—including summer leaving the status of their fling up in the air.

CARLEY FORTUNE delivers a cute summer romance taking place in an idyllic lake town. Both Charlie and Alice are instantly charismatic for the reader, shown by the author's impeccable attention to detail and descriptive body traits. The dialogue is quick-witted and full of banter between these two opposites. Not only does the author capture the feeling of the perfect summer on a lake, but she also delivers a feel-good love story where you root for them to get together from page one.
