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 bestseller author of The Nantucket Inn and The Restaurant.

Book excerpt
Paula could see that the catering team had everything under control. She was surprised that her cousin Andrea who was the hotel’s general manager, wasn’t there. Though, she supposed that’s why her grandfather had insisted that she stay. Somehow, he always knew everything that was going on, even when he wasn’t around. She guessed that he and Andrea had been in touch earlier.
Of all her many cousins, Andrea was her least favorite. She was much more assertive and bossier than Paula, who was reserved and content in her back office role at the hotel. Her office was next to her grandfather’s and she handled all the accounting and financials for the hotel. But, because they’d all grown up working there, she’d held just about every other role over the years too, from cleaning the rooms as a teenager, to serving in the restaurant and working at the front desk, checking people in.
When she’d graduated from Amherst College with a business degree, she’d spent a few years working at a big hotel in Boston in their finance department, before returning to Nantucket. She’d wanted to work at the hotel right after graduating, but her grandfather had insisted that she work elsewhere for a few years, and experience living in Boston as a young person. She smiled, remembering how firm he’d been about it. She’d agreed, but she’d known even then that she’d return to Nantucket, and to The Whitley. How could she not?
