Sarah MacLean, author of These Summer Storms

Alice Storm hasn't been welcome at her family's magnificent private island off the Rhode Island coast in five years --- not since she was cast out and built her life beyond the Storm name, influence and untold billions. But the shocking death of her larger-than-life father changes everything. Alice plans to keep her head down, pay her final respects (such as they are), and leave the minute the funeral is over. Unfortunately, her father had other plans. The eccentric, manipulative patriarch left his family a final challenge --- an inheritance game designed to upend their world. The rules are clear: spend one week on the island, complete their assigned tasks, and receive the inheritance. But a whole week on Storm Island is no easy task for Alice. It will be a miracle if she manages to escape unscathed.
