Secrets and lies.
at Nantucket's most exclusive and glamorous, family-owned hotel.
The Whitley is Nantucket's most exclusive waterfront hotel - a sprawling collection of pristine white cottages and an elegant main building on a long stretch of private white sandy beach.
It's a family owned business - brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, all work there in various capacities.
Paula is happy in her back-office accounting position.
But changes are in store when her grandfather promotes her and fires her cousin - who then blames Paula.
Meanwhile, a blond romantic-comedy superstar is hiding out at the hotel for a few months.
She meets Paula's brother, a chef - who has no idea who she is - and she likes it that way.
Paula's grandfather also hires a consultant to help her settle into her new role.
But she isn't sure what to think of David, who grew up on Nantucket but now lives in Manhattan.
He's a brilliant consultant and will be assessing Paula's suitability for the role.
He's also home for another reason, a difficult family issue that makes Manhattan seem very far away.
A new family saga from the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of The Nantucket Inn and The Restaurant .
