A Mysterious Summons to Gull Cove Island
Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story have never met their wealthy grandmother Mildred, who mysteriously cut off all contact with her four children twenty-four years ago. When they each receive letters inviting them to work at her luxury resort for the summer, their reactions couldn't be more different. Milly, the confident fashionista from New York, initially refuses until bribed with a diamond necklace. Aubrey, the quiet swimmer from Connecticut, sees it as an escape from her crumbling family life. And then there's Jonah-except the person who arrives on Gull Cove Island isn't actually Jonah Story at all. Their first meeting on the ferry sets the tone for their complicated relationships. Milly immediately clashes with the handsome "Jonah," while forming a tentative bond with the reserved Aubrey. Their arrival brings the first of many surprises: their grandmother had no idea they were coming. The invitation was a forgery, and someone has deliberately orchestrated their presence on the island. As they settle into their summer jobs at the resort, they begin forming genuine bonds despite their suspicions. What starts as a reluctant alliance gradually transforms into something deeper, as they realize they'll need each other to uncover the truth about why their parents were disowned and what dark secrets lie buried in the Story family history.
