Pamela M. Kelley

Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast. Thanks to her dead husband’s gambling addiction, their savings is almost gone. In her early fifties with a large waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasn’t worked in over thirty years, has no in-demand skills, and is virtually unemployable.

Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island or, since she has cooking and entertaining skills, turn her home into a bed and breakfast. She desperately needs that plan to succeed because she has four grown children with problems of their own and she wants to stay close to them. 

Her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston—working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome photographer who none of them have met.

Kate's twin, a local artist named Kristen, has been reasonably content with her on-again-off-again relationship with an older separated businessman. 

Her son Chase runs his own construction business and is carefree, happily dating here and there but nothing serious. 

Youngest daughter Abby is happily married to her high-school sweetheart, and they've been trying to have a baby. But it hasn't happened yet, and Abby wonders if it's a sign that maybe their marriage isn't as perfect as everyone thinks.

Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisa's new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family.

Meet widow Lisa Hodges, the owner of the new waterfront bed and breakfast, which she opened after discovering her deceased husband was hiding gambling debts. 

She's loving it so far. Lisa's first guest, restaurant owner Rhett Byrne quickly became a close friend and then something more. In her early fifties, it sounds strange to her to call him her boyfriend, but that's what he is.

Her daughter Kristen finally ended things with Sean, the separated man that no one in the family was excited about. It wasn't until she was beginning to move on that he filed for divorce—and then begged her for another chance. 

Chase, the only boy in the family, has never been serious about anyone before. But he's suddenly withdrawn and has been secretive about who he's seeing, which only makes everyone that much more curious. When they learn who it is, the concern grows as no one wants to see Chase hurt again.

Lisa's best friend Paige has a new neighbor too, and it's one she is most decidedly not enthused about. Violet was one of the women who stood up at the town meeting and protested against Lisa's inn being approved by the selectman. Because the house is right next door, Paige can't help but notice the steady stream of traffic. Violet seems to be very popular with a lot of people.

The inn is doing well and bookings are up, but then one Friday night a guest that prepaid for the weekend never shows up. And quite a few people, including the police, come asking questions.

Lisa Hodges has always thought her best friend Sue had a dream marriage. She'd married Curt, her high-school sweetheart and current business partner. After thirty-five years of marriage, she’d never doubted him once—until blonde and beautiful Brandi Morgan joined their thriving insurance company. All the clients love her and business is up. Sue liked her quite a bit too—until the rumors started swirling. It all began with A Nantucket Affair, the island's biggest charity gathering. As usual, Curt is the chairman, but this year, he has a new second in command, Brandi. Sue didn't give it a second thought, but then Curt suddenly dropped the fifteen pounds he'd been whining about wanting to lose and a few well meaning friends started asking her what was going on. Meanwhile, Kristen's boyfriend, Tyler is dealing with a devastating loss, and Kristen wants to be there for him, but isn't sure how best to support him, especially when she discovers a secret he's been keeping, one that could have devastating consequences for both of them. Abby is busy learning how to be a new mother, and Lisa is madly in love with her first grandchild. And Chase and Beth have discovered a new passion project—flipping houses. Beth does the research to find the undervalued homes, and Chase works his magic to renovate them. But then they get in over their heads when a project requires more than they could ever have imagined.

Born on Christmas, Angela Stark has always hated the holiday. Bad things always seem to happen, and this year is no exception—she is fired and evicted on the first day of December.

She was living and working as a maid in San Francisco. Who will hire her at this time of year, especially if they learn why she was fired?

Her only family is Sam, an elderly and quite vocal orange cat. Her only option is to stay temporarily with her best friend Jane, who is extremely allergic to cats. It's not ideal, but it doesn't look like she has a choice…until a certified letter arrives that changes everything.

The next thing she knows, she and Sam are flying to Nantucket, a place they've never been before.

It's meant to be a temporary visit. But then Angela meets the Hodges family and friends and begins to question where home really is.
