Three romantic rivals. One crowded house. Plenty of room for
jealousy.
Laurel Thorpe, Belinda Rowe, and Scarlett Oliver share only
two things; a love for the man they all married, Deacon
Thorpe--a celebrity chef with an insatiable appetite for
life--and a passionate dislike of one another. All three are
remarkable, spirited women, but they couldn't be more
different. Laurel: Deacon's high school sweetheart and an
effortlessly beautiful social worker; Belinda: a
high-maintenance Hollywood diva; and Scarlett: a sexy
southern belle floating by on her family money and her
fabulous looks. They've established a delicate understanding
over the years--they avoid each other at all costs.
But their fragile detente threatens to come crashing down
after Deacon's tragic death on his favorite place on earth:
a ramshackle Nantucket summer cottage. Deacon's final wish
was for his makeshift family to assemble on his beloved
Nantucket to say good-bye. Begrudgingly, Laurel, Belinda,
and Scarlett gather on the island as once again, as in each
of their marriages, they're left to pick up Deacon's mess.
Now they're trapped in the crowded cottage where they all
made their own memories--a house that they now share in more
ways than one--along with the children they raised with
Deacon, and his best friend. Laurel, Belinda, and Scarlett
each had an unbreakable bond with Deacon--and they all have
secrets to hide.
Before the weekend is over, there are enough accusations,
lies, tears, and drama to turn even the best of friends--let
alone three women who married the same man--into
adversaries. As his unlikely family says good-bye to the man
who brought them together--for better or worse--will they be
able to put aside their differences long enough to raise a
glass in Deacon's honor?
