Overview:
This two-book collection brings together Carley Fortune’s sun-drenched, emotionally charged contemporary novels in a single gorgeous hardback set. One Golden Summer follows a photographer named Alice who returns to Barry’s Bay after a life-changing moment caught on camera, where a familiar yet magnetic figure from her past—Charlie Florek—reappears and stirs old dreams. In Our Perfect Storm, Frankie and George navigate the fallout of love and friendship as a wedding countdown collides with an unexpected, week-long honeymoon proposal in the wild beauty of Tofino. Together, these novels offer immersive, character-driven storytelling, lush settings, and heart-stounding choices that test loyalty, desire, and the power of taking a chance on what the heart truly wants. This collection is ideal for readers who crave romance layered with introspection, modern storytelling, and a satisfying, page-turning reading experience.
What Makes This Collection Special:
Two standalone novels by the same author, both rooted in contemporary romance and emotional realism, are united by Fortune’s gift for quiet longing set against vivid, transportive backdrops. The set invites readers to inhabit two distinct emotional journeys—first, a lakeside summer of uncertain desire and self-discovery; second, a honeymoon week that derails expectations and reshapes a long-standing friendship into something more. Owning the complete pair delivers a cohesive reading experience that showcases Fortune’s talent for balancing warmth, tension, and tenderness. It also makes a thoughtful gift for fans of beachside escapism, character-forward storytelling, and books that linger in the mind long after the final page.
Books Included in This Collection:
One Golden Summer
Alice returns to Barry’s Bay after a life-changing moment that put photography—and the image that defined it—at the center of her world. With Charlie Florek reappearing in her life, the lake, the sun, and the electric pull between them collide in a story of slow-burning affection, memory, and the risk of choosing love over career. Fortune crafts a mood of sunlit clarity and tender intensity, inviting readers to watch two people discover whether an old spark can become a lasting flame. The novel’s emotional honesty and vivid setting make it a standout entry in contemporary romance and a perfect opener for this set.
Our Perfect Storm
Frankie and George have shared a long, complicated friendship since childhood, yet the high-stakes moment comes on the eve of Frankie’s wedding. When George appears with the chance to escape into a week-long honeymoon, the pair embark on a transformative journey to the rainforests and beaches of Tofino. What unfolds is less about destination and more about choosing truth over fear, and whether a stubborn bond can become something deeper and more enduring.
