Chasing Tomorrow (Summer Lake 9) (Summer Lake Romance)
Ben Walton grew up in Summer Lake, he's always known that he belongs there. His goal in life has always been to grow the resort that his family has owned for generations. <br /><br />Charlotte DeWinter spent her childhood summers at the lake, staying with her grandparents. From the age of ten, she believed she would marry Ben someday. Ben believed it too.<br /><br />Everything looked as though it was on track for these two, until it all went wrong the summer they were eighteen. <br /><br />If you've read the Summer Lake series, you've no doubt wondered about Ben, and why he hasn't had his own book yet. Chasing Tomorrow is Ben's backstory, an insight into his past and what made him who he is.<br /><br />WARNING!!! This is not Ben's happily-ever-after story, but a look into his past. Chasing Tomorrow is a shorter story than the other Summer Lake books. This one is around 40k words whereas the others are mostly 70-80k. It begins immediately after The Wedding Dance ends and looks back at one fateful summer.<br /><br />This book is intended for adult readers 18+ <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Chasing Tomorrow is NOT intended to be read as a stand alone novel.
