#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. 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 spending summers in cottage country, on the glittering lakeshore of her childhood, she stays in a stylish apartment in Toronto, keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until Percy 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 during their youth, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm nights working in his family’s restaurant, Percy and Sam had been inseparable. And when Percy returns to the lake, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until she can confront the decisions she made, they’ll never know whether their love is bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years in the past and one weekend in the present, Every Summer After is a gorgeously romantic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure that changes their lives forever. Fern Brookbanks has spent too much time thinking about Will Baxter, an idealistic artist she met during a chance encounter in her early twenties. Their whirlwind day in Toronto led to a pact to reunite one year later, but when Fern showed up, Will didn't. Now at thirty-two, Fern's life is far from her dreams; she's back home running her mother's disheveled Muskoka lakeside resort, alongside her ex-boyfriend as the manager. Feeling lost, she desperately needs a plan. Unexpectedly, Will returns nine years late, offering help with a suitcase in tow. Though he seems different from the young man she once knew, he may be the only one who understands her struggles. Yet, Fern grapples with trust, sensing that Will is hiding something. As she contemplates their past and the promise he broke, she recalls how he once rescued her. Now, she must decide if she can return the favor and help him in his time of need.
Diesen Sommer werden sie ihr Versprechen halten. Diesen Sommer werden sie der Versuchung nicht nachgeben. Dieser Sommer wird anders sein. Sonnendurchflutete Buchten, rostfarbene Klippen, wogendes Dünengras. Normalerweise löst der Anblick von Prince Edward Island Glücksgefühle in Lucy aus. Doch diesmal ist sie notgedrungen ihrer besten Freundin gefolgt, die neun Tage vor ihrer Hochzeit auf die kanadische Insel geflüchtet ist. Lucys Mission steht fest: Bridget durch die Krise helfen und sie so schnell wie möglich zurück nach Toronto bringen. Und Bridgets Bruder Felix nicht zu nahe kommen. Doch als sie das erste Mal wieder in seine gletscherblauen Augen blickt, schwindet plötzlich ihre Willenskraft. Lucy wird von Erinnerungen überfallen, bei denen ihr heiß wird: an sonnige Tage am Strand und leidenschaftliche Nächte. An Felix‘ Grübchen und die magisch wirkende Anziehungskraft zwischen ihnen. Und an ein Versprechen, das sie geschworen hat, um jeden Preis zu halten. Lucys Entschluss steht fest: Dieser Sommer wird anders. Diesen Sommer werden sie und Felix der Versuchung widerstehen.
