Ruth Cooperman arrives in beautiful beachside Provincetown for her
retirement, renting the perfect waterfront cottage while she
searches for her forever home. After years of hard work and making
peace with life's disappointments, Ruth is looking forward to a
carefree summer of solitude. But when she finds a baby girl
abandoned on her doorstep, Ruth turns to her new neighbors for help
and is drawn into the drama of the close-knit community. The
appearance of the mystery baby has an emotional ripple effect
through the women in town, including Amelia Cabral, the matriarch
who lost her own child decades earlier; Elise Douglas, owner of the
tea shop who gave up her dream of becoming a mother; and teenage
local Jaci Barros who feels trapped by her parents' expectations.
Ruth, caring for a baby for the first time in thirty years, finally
reaches out to her own estranged daughter, Olivia, summoning her to
Provincetown in hopes of a reconciliation. As summer unfolds and
friends and family care for the infant, alliances are made,
relationships are tested, and secrets are uncovered. But the
unconditional love for a child in need just might bring Ruth and
the women of Provincetown exactly what they have been longing for
themselves. With terrific, heartfelt plotting, SUMMER LONGING is
Jamie Brenner's triumphant return to Provincetown; another
unforgettable story about motherhood, friendship, and finding your
way home.
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.
When a DNA test reveals long-buried secrets, three generations of
women reunite on Cape Cod for the homecoming of a lifetime. Marin
Bishop has always played by the rules, and it's paid off: at
twenty-eight she has a handsome fiancee, a prestigious Manhattan
legal career, and the hard-won admiration of her father. But one
moment of weakness leaves Marin unemployed and alone, all in a
single day. Then a woman claiming to be Marin's half-sister shows
up, and it's all Marin can do not to break down completely. Seeking
escape, Marin agrees to a road trip to meet the grandmother she
never knew she had. As the summer unfolds at her grandmother's
quaint beachside B&B, it becomes clear that the truth of her
half-sister is just the beginning of revelations that will change
Marin's life forever. The Forever Summer is a delicious page-turner
and a provocative exploration of what happens when our notions of
love, truth, and family are put to the ultimate test. Full of
delicious descriptions of coastal New England and richly imagined
characters, The Forever Summer is an emotional, hot-topic
page-turner and a summer must-read

and the rise of the jazz age, Jamie Brenner's "The Gin Lovers" was
first published as a six-part e-serial. Now this sensual and
romantic story of how one high society woman's passion and courage
lead her to love is available for the first time ever as a complete
book.
It's 1925, and the Victorian era with its confining morals is
all but dead. Unfortunately, for New York socialite Charlotte
Delacorte, the scandalous flapper revolution is little more than a
headline in the tabloids. Living with her rigid and controlling
husband William, her Fifth Avenue townhouse is a gilded cage. But
when William's rebellious younger sister, the beautiful and brash
Mae, comes to live with them after the death of their mother,
Charlotte finds entree to a world beyond her wildest dreams - and a
handsome and mysterious stranger whom she imagines is as confident
in the bedroom as he is behind the bar of his forbidden
speakeasy.
When a young widow's reclusive life in a charming beach town is
interrupted by a surprise visitor, she is forced to reckon with
dark secrets about her family, her late husband, and the past she
tried to leave behind. Lauren Adelman and her high school
sweetheart, Rory Kincaid, are a golden couple. They marry just out
of college as Rory, a star hockey player, earns a spot in the NHL.
Their future could not look brighter when Rory shocks
everyone-Lauren most of all-by enlisting in the U.S. Army. When
Rory dies in combat, Lauren is left devastated, alone, and under
unbearable public scrutiny. Seeking peace and solitude, Lauren
retreats to her family's old beach house on the Jersey Shore. But
this summer she's forced to share the house with her overbearing
mother and competitive sister. Worse, a stranger making a
documentary about Rory tracks her down and persuades her to give
him just an hour of her time. One hour with filmmaker Matt Brio
turns into a summer of revelations, surprises, and upheaval. As the
days grow shorter and her grief changes shape, Lauren begins to
understand the past-and to welcome the future.

Marin Bishop has always played by the rules, and it's paid off: at
twenty-eight she has a handsome fiance, a prestigious Manhattan
legal career, and the hard-won admiration of her father. But with
one careless mistake, she's on the verge, suddenly, of losing
everything. When a forbidden tryst with a high-powered partner at
her firm is exposed, Marin finds herself unemployed and alone, all
in a single day, and terrified to admit such messiness to her
parents, whose thirty-year marriage is, in her eyes, the model
romance. Before Marin can summon the courage to face her family, a
young woman from LA, Rachel Moskowitz, shows up, claiming to be
Marin's half-sister and urging Marin to accompany her on a
soul-searching journey to Cape Cod. Needing to escape and looking
for her own answers, Marin soon finds herself on a surreal road
trip to Provincetown, where she and Rachel seek refuge with Amelia,
Rachel's paternal grandmother and the longtime owner of a beloved
beachside inn on the verge of shuttering. Just when it seems like
things can't get any more complicated, Marin's mother appears at
the inn, bringing with her shocking truths that will shake Marin's
beliefs--in love, in her own identity, and in where she came from -
even further. Full of delicious descriptions of coastal New England
and richly imagined characters, THE FOREVER SUMMER is an emotional,
hot-topic page-turner and a powerful exploration of what happens
when our notions of love, truth, and family are put to the ultimate
test.
