The Nantucket Inn (Nantucket Beach Plum Cove Book 1)

This is Pamela Kelley's first book in the Nantucket based series. It spent three weeks on the USA Today bestseller list and readers often say they love this world and these characters that feel like friends. When widow Lisa Hodges realizes that her husband's hidden gambling debts could cost her the family home, she turns their Nantucket waterfront house into a small inn. She wants to stay on the island, near her four adult children, who have issues of their own. Kate, newly laid off from a Boston magazine and blindsided by betrayal, returns to Nantucket to start over. Kristen, a gifted local artist, can't seem to quit the charming real-estate developer who won't finalize his divorce. Chase, a contractor who helps Lisa turn her home into an inn, avoids serious relationships. Abby and her husband are trying for a baby—and losing hope. The last thing on Lisa's mind is romance—even after her first guest arrives. Rhett is a kind, handsome man her age, in town to open a new restaurant. Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisa's new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family. It's the first book in a new series that will follow the Hodges family, friends, and visitors to Nantucket's Beach Plum Cove Inn.
