After twenty years, Elizabeth "Betts" McGee has finally
managed to put her past behind her. She hasn't been home to
beautiful South Carolina and untouched Bulls Island since
the tragic night that ended her engagement to Charleston's
golden boy, J. D. Langley.
And why is that? Really, this is the story of two old
Southern families. The Langley family has more money than
the Morgan Stanley Bank. And they think they have more
class. The Barrett family made their nineteenth-century
fortune in a less distinguished manner—corner grocery stores
and liquor stores. It's no surprise that when J.D.
and Betts fall in love and decide to marry their parents are
none too pleased. And when the love affair comes to an end,
everyone is ready to place blame.
Now twenty years have gone by and Betts, a top investment
bank executive, must leave her comfortable life in New York
City to return to the home she thought she'd left behind
forever. But spearheading the most important project of her
career puts her back in contact with everything she's tried
so hard to forget: her estranged sister, her father, J.D.,
and her past.
Once she's home, can Betts keep the secret that threatens
all she holds dear? Or will her fear of the past wreck her
future happiness? And what about that crazy gator? All will
be revealed on Bulls Island.
