A New Love for Cynthia

Lovely Cynthia Marlow stood at the crossroads of her young life. She was about to marry her childhood sweetheart, Jethrow Collins. His family, like hers, had lived at Nantucket for centuries. But Jeff hated the beautiful island as much as Cynthia loved it, and as his bride, Cynthia would have to live with him amid the skyscraper canyons of Manhattan.

Cynthia pleaded for a summer to think it over. To support herself she opened her ancestral home to lodgers. Among them was Harper Kelly, a handsome, restless novelist, seeking refuge from a secret torment. Another was the mysterious Mr. Vancieswi, who carried a revolver and refused to reveal his past. And suddenly the dazzling sun-filled summer was shadowed with danger and doubt as Cynthia struggled to steer her way through the crosscurrents of romance and menace to find her true love and destiny.
