The island house

"Courtney Hendricks will never forget the magical summers she spent on Nantucket with her college roommate, Robin Vickerey, in her family's gorgeous island house. Now a college English professor, Courtney is determined to experience one more summer in this sun-swept paradise. Her reason for going is personal: Courtney needs to know whether Robins's brother James shares the feelings she's secretly had for him. This summer, vivacious matriarch Susanna Vickerey is celebrating her sixtieth birthday, but beneath the merriment, trouble is brewing. The family patriarch, Dr. Alastair Vickerey, is quiet and detached, while unspoken tension looms over oldest son Henry. Robin, the most grounded of the siblings, is keeping a secret from her parents. Iris, the baby of the brood, remains rudderless and in need of guidance. And sexy, stunningly handsome James-to Courtney's dismay-may be in love with a local artist. As the summer unfolds, surprising truths are revealed, and Courtney will find out where her heart and her future lie."--BOOK COVER.
