They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone
Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life
a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering
summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them
in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends,
and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.
Until she receives the call that sends her racing back
to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam
Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to
live without.
For six summers, through hazy
afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in
his family’s restaurant and curling up together with
books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress
horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been
inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into
something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly
apart.
When Percy returns to the lake for
Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as
undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can
confront the decisions she made and the years she’s
spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know
whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes
of their past.
