The Islanders

In need of an escape from the upheaval in his life, thriller writer Anthony Puckett decides to housesit on Block Island, RI, for the summer. Island bakery owner Joy Sousa is trying to keep her small business alive and be a good mother to her teenage daughter, Maggie. Lu Trusdale, who is on the island because her husband’s parents rented them a cottage, is supposed to be occupied with her two young boys but is distracted by updating her popular food blog, which she’s keeping secret from everyone in her life. The three strangers’ lives collide: Anthony rescues Lu’s son, and Joy rescues Anthony when his car breaks down. In no time, Joy and Anthony are an item, Maggie is helping Lu with her sons, and Lu and Anthony become friends. When long-held secrets come to light, there’s no telling how it will affect their new relationships.
