Can she do the same for him?.
But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern.
Will is hiding something, and Fern\'s not sure she wants to know what it is.
But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago.
Will may be the only person who understands what Fern\'s going through.
To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips.
The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend\'s the manager, and Fern doesn\'t know where to begin.
She needs a plan-a lifeline.
Instead of living in the city, Fern\'s back home, running her mother\'s lakeside resort-something she vowed never to do.
At thirty-two, Fern\'s life doesn\'t look at all how she once imagined it would.
Will didn\'t.
Fern showed up.
The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to Meet one year later.
She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city.
Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter.
