Lily Dane has returned to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family has summered for generations. It's an escape not only from New York's social scene but from a heartbreak that still haunts her. Here, among the seaside community that has embraced her since childhood, she finds comfort in the familiar rituals of summer.
But this summer is different. Budgie and Nick Greenwald--Lily's former best friend and former fiancé--have arrived, too, and Seaview's elite are abuzz. Under Budgie's glamorous influence, Lily is seduced into a complicated web of renewed friendship and dangerous longing.
As a cataclysmic hurricane churns north through the Atlantic, and uneasy secrets slowly reveal themselves, Lily and Nick must confront an emotional storm that will change their worlds forever...

About the Author
More books by Beatriz Williams
What people are saying
"In my twenties, I read Beatriz Williams' A Hundred Summers, which was one of the first women's historical fiction novels I'd ever read. I was seduced by the time period, the clothes, the conversations, how the themes of women back then were different and yet entirely the same."
Praise for this book

"It is what every beach book should aspire to be--smart and engrossing."--New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand
"[A] great summer read."--People
"Will keep the reader so engrossed, multiple applications of sunscreen will be required."--USA Today
"A wonderfully evocative atmosphere of hot and hazy days, shimmering parties, and lazy afternoons on the beach. Add in a little romance, a lost love, and a family mystery, and you've got the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the hot sand."--Examiner.com
