The Hotel

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.
