‘Deliciously impossible to put down’ JODI PICOULT

‘Powerful, tragic, and beautiful. Is there anything Sarah MacLean can't do?’ ASHLEY POSTON

From bestselling author Sarah MacLean comes a sharp, sexy novel about a family's long-overdue reckoning with hidden desires, destructive secrets . . . and one week that threatens to tear them apart.

These Summer Storms presents Alice Storm, who isn't like her siblings. While the rest stayed to battle for their parents' approval, and their billions, she walked away, building a life beyond her family's reach. Nothing could induce her to come back. Nothing except the shocking death of her father.

Now back on the family's private island off the Rhode Island coast, Alice plans to keep her head down, pay the last of her respects, and leave.

But her father had other plans.

The manipulative patriarch left behind a final challenge: an inheritance game designed to unravel the Storm family in ways both petty and life-altering. The rules are simple: stay on the island for one week, complete the tasks, receive the inheritance.

But a week on Storm Island may destroy Alice. The family home seethes with dysfunction, and then there's Jack Dean—her father's infuriatingly attractive second-in-command, watching her every move.

Alice just wants to survive the week. But the Storm legacy isn't done with her yet.

‘Money, sex, and intrigue . . . unputdownable from beginning to end’ CHRISTINA LAUREN

‘From the first rumbles of thunder to the torrential downpour, MacLean takes readers for a wild ride!’ ABBY JIMENEZ
