Rory was royalty at Two Hearted Bay’s exclusive Birch club. Until her father’s unexpected death left her penniless, and her fiancé just left. Determined to rebuild her life, she takes in a collection of boarders – one with a surprise that will change her summer, and her life.
It’s a mystery to Rory Stillwell why her handsome law school boyfriend stopped calling her—this was supposed to be their engagement summer. The one where their two families would celebrate endlessly on the veranda of Hollyhock, her family’s three-story Victorian cottage near Lake Michigan’s sunset coast. Now, since her father died unexpectedly and took his fortune with him, Hollyhock is all Rory has left.Rory’s mother refuses to show her face to the snooty neighbors at the historic Birch club and plans to shutter the summer home for the first time in 150 years. Rory is having none of that. She wants answers. She wants to see for herself if her love affair is really over. Her ex can block her calls, but he can’t avoid her if she’s right next door all summer, can he?
Knowing she can’t afford to keep the lights on in the mansion without help, Rory bends club rules and sneaks a lively group of young renters into Hollyhock—an Aussie sous chef, a medical student who doubles as a sailing instructor, and a book editor who arrives with a hidden identity and big surprises. Together, the new friends have an unforgettable summer in Two Hearted Bay as they dodge nosy neighbors and unlock the secrets that tie Rory to the past.
With the sunny beaches of Two Hearted Bay as a backdrop, Rory learns what she’s really made of and who she can count on. And she learns that true love isn’t something that can be planned; it’s as wonderful and unexpected as her Hollyhock summer.
Lose yourself in the lively town of Two Hearted Bay, on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. Whether you love women’s fiction or clean small town romance, you’ll love the Two Hearted Bay series.
