Lake Rules: Soak up the sun. Sit under the stars. Don’t fall back in love. Miles and Avery seemed like the perfect couple when they met a decade ago while working at a lakeside resort in Maine. For one magical summer, they were like blueberry pancakes and maple syrup. But at summer’s end, things turned sticky when Miles abruptly ended things. They haven’t spoken since. When the resort’s owner suffers a family emergency, both Avery and Miles return to the lake to help open the resort for summer. After selling her stationery business and leaving a cheating fiancé, Avery is all about playing it safe and she isn’t interested in giving Miles and his big dock energy another chance. As long as she keeps him at a canoe paddle’s distance, they won’t have to dredge up their past before she starts her MBA in the fall. Miles is now a tech entrepreneur and semi-famous serial dater living in New York. Avery’s the only woman who ever understood him and he’s determined to make up for past hurts. If he can remind her of everything they had that summer and prove his commitment, he might get another chance. Despite a decade of silence that still stings, Avery can’t deny Miles remains the same intelligent, kindhearted soul who once showed her the stars.
