Five people on a journey that will uncover their secrets and point them on the path to forgiveness. Mary Kay Andrews's New York Times bestseller, Summer Rental, is a warm and humorous novel of four women, a month at the beach, and the healing power of friendship and second chances. Ellis, Julia, and Dorie can provide what Maryn wants can they also provide what she needs? Five people questioning everything they ever thought they knew about life. Maryn needs just a few things in life: no questions, a good hiding place, and a new identity. Mary Kay Andrews is the New York Times bestselling author of 26 novels including Sunset Beach, The High Tide Club, The Weekenders, Beach Town, Ladies' Night, Summer Rental, Deep Dish, and Hissy Fit. Maryn Shackleford is a stranger, and a woman on the run. After an inauspicious first meeting with Ellis, the two find themselves disturbingly attracted to one another, even as Ty is about to lose everything he’s ever cared about.

Ty Bazemore is their landlord, though he’s hanging on to the rambling old beach house by a thin thread.

And Dorie has just been shockingly betrayed by the man she loved and trusted the most in the world…though this is just the tip of the iceberg of her problems and secrets.Ī month in North Carolina’s Outer Banks is just what each of them needs. Julia-whose caustic wit covers up her wounds-has a man who loves her and is offering her the world, but she can’t hide from how deeply insecure she feels about her looks, her brains, her life. Best friends since Catholic grade school, they now find themselves, in their mid-thirties, at the crossroads of life and love.Įllis, recently fired from a job she gave everything to, is rudderless and now beginning to question the choices she’s made over the past decade of her life.

Sometimes, when you need a change in your life, the tide just happens to pull you in the right direction.
