Lucy and Bridget are former roommates and inseparable best friends. When Lucy goes to visit Bridget’s childhood home on PEI, she arrives alone because Bridget was delayed. On a whim she goes to an oyster bar, where in addition to some fantastic food, she meets Felix, a sexy local. They spend an incredible night together, and then she realizes Felix is Bridget’s younger brother, so he is off-limits.
But every time Lucy and Bridget travel from Toronto to PEI, they take in the beauty of the island, spend time walking on the beach and drinking by the fire, and acting like tourists. And every time, Lucy winds up sleeping with Felix, and they both promise not to let it happen again, and to keep it a secret from Bridget.
A week before Bridget’s wedding, she mysteriously flees Toronto and goes home without telling anyone. Then she calls Lucy and asks her to come to PEI, but doesn’t explain why. Lucy is determined to help Bridget weather whatever crisis she is dealing with, but Bridget isn’t ready to share why she came home. And at the same time, Lucy still cannot resist Felix, but this summer it feels like more than just a fling. But will this hurt her friendship with Bridget?
This is a romance, complete with some serious steam and the push-and-pull of two people who want each other but are deathly afraid of truly letting their hearts go. Yet it’s also a story about true friendship. As Bridget says, “It’s how I learned that the greatest loves are not always romances.”
Fortune not only weaves beautiful stories, but she creates such vivid, evocative imagery that touches all of your senses. I have my passport ready and know all the words to “O Canada”!
