Part of Gansett Island, book 16
First published 2016
Mallory Vaughn stands in her Providence apartment, packing boxes after losing her longtime job. A year has passed since she discovered Big Mac McCarthy is her father, and she has grown close to the sprawling McCarthy clan on Gansett Island. The job loss pushes her to accept an unexpected work opportunity on the island. She decides to relocate for the summer, maybe longer, calling it her "Summer of Mallory." New adventures await, along with fresh faces and chances she never imagined. Romance might bloom during these transformative months. The McCarthy family gathers again as Laura and Owen prepare to welcome twins. Ferry rides connect the mainland to this island community where love stories unfold. Mallory must choose between the safety of her old life and the promise of something entirely different on Gansett Island.
