As they navigate their charade, a major science conference throws Olive's career into jeopardy. Adam's unexpected support—and undeniable six-pack abs—blur the lines of their experiment. Suddenly, Olive discovers that the most complex hypothesis of all might be the one she's conducting on her own heart.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After comes a radiant new escape to the lake, where a chance encounter sparks an unforgettable connection.**

Alice believes in the magic of the lake. Her grandmother always said good things happen there, and Alice knows it's true. It was one golden summer at Barry's Bay, spent in a lakeside cottage with her Nan, that ignited her passion for photography and captured a moment – a photo of three laughing teenagers in a yellow speedboat – that would change everything.

Now a photographer, Alice prefers life behind the lens, observing and capturing the stories of others. But when Nan suffers an injury, Alice proposes a return to Barry's Bay, hoping to rekindle the magic of that long-ago summer. Their peaceful retreat is soon disrupted by the familiar roar of a yellow boat and the man at the helm: Charlie Florek.

Years ago, Alice photographed Charlie from afar. Now, he's back, a charming flirt who makes Nan laugh and awakens a longing in Alice for the carefree days of her youth. As sun-drenched days on the lake turn into warm, starlit nights with Charlie, Alice finds her soul healing. But when his piercing green eyes meet hers, she fears her heart might be at risk. Alice has a gift for seeing people, but she's never encountered someone who sees her so completely in return.
