These Summer Storms A Novel

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Sarah MacLean delivers a razor-sharp, wildly sexy novel about a wealthy New England family’s long-overdue reckoning—and the one week that threatens to tear them apart.

“Deliciously impossible to put down.”—Jodi Picoult

“Addictive.”—Ali Hazelwood

“A gripping inheritance drama, wrapped around a swoony summer romance.”—The New York Times Book Review

Alice Storm hasn’t set foot on her family’s magnificent private island off the Rhode Island coast in five years—not since she was cast out and built a life beyond the Storm name, influence, and untold billions. But her father’s shocking death changes everything.

She plans to keep her head down, pay her final respects, and leave the minute the funeral ends. Unfortunately, her eccentric, manipulative patriarch left one final challenge: an inheritance game designed to upend their world. The rules? Spend one week on the island, complete their assigned tasks, and receive the inheritance.

But a whole week on Storm Island is no easy feat. Every corner of the sprawling old house bursts with chaos: her older sister’s secret love affair, her brother’s unyielding arrogance, her younger sister’s constant analysis of the vibes, her mother’s cold judgment. And all under the watchful gaze of Jack Dean, her father’s intriguing and too-handsome second-in-command.

A smart and tender story about the transformative power of grief, love, and family, this luscious novel explores past secrets, present truths, and futures forged in the wake of wild summer storms. Perfect for fans of domestic drama with a romantic twist.
