Description

Summer at Hideaway Key is a novel about two summers and the secrets that can break and open our hearts. Pragmatic, independent Lily St Claire has never been a beachgoer, but when she inherits a small house on Hideaway Key from her late father, she visits the sleepy spit of land along Florida's Gulf Coast.

Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. Among the possessions is a carton of old journals written by her mother's sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long been banned from the St Claire home. As she reads the journals, Lily gains a new understanding about her family and herself.

The story unfolds as Lily begins to open her heart to this place, these people, and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken ones, can be forged anew?
