The perfect wife and mother finds the perfect temptation in this
"perfect summer cocktail of sex, sun, and scandal" (Kirkus Reviews).
Claire has a problem with setting limits. All her life she has taken on
every responsibility, assumed every burden, granted every request.
Claire wants it all--and in the eyes of her friends, she has it: a
devoted husband, four beautiful children, even a successful career as an
artist. So when she agrees to chair the committee for Nantucket's social
event of the year, she knows she can handle it. Claire can handle
anything.
But when planning the gala propels her into the orbit of billionaire
Lock Dixon, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Lock insists on working
closely with Claire--often over a bottle of wine--and before long she
can't ignore the subtle touches and lingering looks. To her surprise,
she can't ignore how they make her feel, either. Claire finds the gala,
her life, and herself spinning out of control.
A Summer Affair captures the love, loss, and limbo of an illicit
romance and unchecked passion as it takes us on a brave and breathless
journey into the heart of one modern woman.
"Think you know where this is going? Think again. Hilderbrand is way
too smart to give away the whole story in her title." --Elisabeth Egan,
New York Times
