Mack Petersen has managed The Beach Club on Nantucket for twelve summers, but this one threatens to be his last. His boss Bill Elliot arrives with new demands that shake the foundation of everything Mack knows about running the hotel. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Maribel pushes him toward marriage while Vance, the bellman who has resented Mack for stealing his position twelve years ago, makes deadly threats. The hotel's new staff brings fresh complications. Love O'Donnell takes over the front desk after leaving Aspen, desperately seeking a stranger to father her child. Jem Crandall, a former college calendar model heading to Los Angeles for an entertainment career, works as a bellman until he falls for Maribel. As personal dramas intensify among the staff, a hurricane bears down on the island, threatening to destroy The Beach Club itself. This debut novel captures the intoxicating atmosphere of summer romance and the deep connections people form with special places.
