The Lakehouse Confession, a literary fiction novel with a sweeping, intimate. Blending romance, family drama, and emotional suspense, it explores how first love, betrayal, and inherited family wounds shape one woman's choices.
At her family's Lakehouse in New Hampshire, Alexa Rivers wakes to the consequences of a single night-giving in to her lifelong love for Jack Hayes, her childhood best friend, while her husband James sleeps upstairs. The Lakehouse, steeped in memory and shadowed by her late mother Bridgette's influence, becomes the stage where Alexa must reckon with the past and the present colliding.
Through shifting timelines, readers witness Alexa and Jack's summers of stolen glances and near-confessions, the steady comfort of James's love through grief and motherhood, and the fraught legacy of Bridgette's own hidden affair. As tensions rise over the course of one fateful summer, Alexa finds herself torn between duty and desire, stability, passion, and her choice.
The Lakehouse Confession will appeal to readers of literary family dramas like The Paper Palace and Ask Again, Yes, as well as fans of emotionally layered romances that interrogate the boundaries of love and loyalty.
