For Persephone "Percy" Fraser, returning to Barry's Bay means confronting the biggest mistake of her life.

Ten years ago, Percy left behind the lakeside town where she spent every summer growing up—and the boy she loved most. Since then, she's built a successful life in the city, carefully keeping everyone at arm's length and refusing to revisit the past.

Until one unexpected phone call brings her home.

Back on the shores of the lake, Percy is reunited with Sam Florek, the man she never stopped loving. Their connection is as undeniable as it was during the six magical summers they spent together, when friendship slowly blossomed into first love before one devastating decision changed everything.

As memories of long days on the lake, quiet evenings with books, and youthful dreams resurface, Percy must face the truth about what happened all those years ago.

Because some loves never truly fade.

Beautifully written and deeply emotional, Every Summer After is a moving story about forgiveness, healing, and discovering whether love can survive even the biggest mistakes.
