We spoke with Canadian journalist and bestselling romance novelist Carley Fortune, author of the new book Meet Me at the Lake. It's a summer love story about Fern Brookbanks, who's forced to grieve the sudden death of her mother while trying to run her family's lakeside resort, alongside the manager who happens to be her ex. Unbeknownst to her, Fern's mom had hired a consultant just before she died; and unfortunately it turns out to be Will Baxter, the guy who stole Fern's young heart years ago and then vanished from her life, but never her thoughts.
