Guarding the Lake — Dana Burkey

Enjoying the hot New York summers from her perch on a lifeguard chair at Sunrise Beach, Natalie is sad to see the season at Beechwood Estates come to a close. The rich gated community in upstate New York is home to families looking to spend the hottest months of the year relaxing at the resort style homes and shops around Lake Elinor. But none of that matters to Natalie. She has her eyes set on one thing, and one thing only: Michael Preston. After a loud and dramatic breakup with his fellow Beechwood Estates girlfriend only days before, Natalie is ready to catch the attention of the boy she has been watching for both of her summers life guarding the at the beach. So, when Michael starts to show interest in the young lifeguard as well, she couldn't be happier. But are his intentions genuine? Could a rich boy like him really like someone without a trust fund and rich parents at home? With her two best friends Zander and Baylee by her side giving her advice, Natalie will need to decide weather to follow her heart or listen to what her friends are saying. All this is sure to make the final week of summer about so much more than just guarding the lake.
