An unexpected inheritance, a promise broken, and four
lives changed forever: the newest page-turner from USA Today
bestselling author Jamie Brenner.
Summer has started in idyllic Sag Harbor, and for Emma
Mapson that means greeting guests at the front desk of The
American Hotel. But when one of the town's most famous
residents, artist Henry Wyatt, dies suddenly, Emma learns he
has mysteriously left his waterfront home - a self-designed
masterpiece filled with his work - to her teenage daughter,
Penny.
Back in Manhattan, legendary art patron Bea Winstead's grief
at her lifelong friend and former business partner Henry's
passing turns to outrage at the news of his shocking
bequest. How did these unknown locals get their hands on the
estate? Bea, with her devoted assistant Kyle in tow,
descends on Sag Harbor determined to reclaim the house and
preserve Henry's legacy.
While Emma fights to defend her daughter's inheritance, Bea
discovers that Henry left a treasure trove of sketches
scattered around town. With Penny's reluctant help, Bea
pieces them together to find a story hidden in plain sight:
an illustration of their shared history with an unexpected
twist that will change all of their lives.
Drawn together in their battle for the house, Emma and Bea
are forced to confront the past while facing a future that
challenges everything they believe about love, fate, and family.
