#1 NY Times Bestseller! Fans of Nora Roberts, Luanne Rice and Kristin Hannah will enjoy this book filled with romance, mystery and adventure. Bestselling author Barbara Freethy presents a powerful contemporary novel -- the story of three unique sisters ... the secrets that bind them for life ... and the summer that will set them free. Eight years ago, the three McKenna sisters -- Kate, Ashley, and Caroline -- had their fifteen minutes of fame. Driven by their ambitious father, they won an around-the-world sailing race as teenagers. But something happened out on the turbulent sea during a fierce storm they could never forget ... Now Tyler Jamison has come to Castleton, a picturesque island off the coast of Washington State, asking questions about the famous McKennas. But even as the sisters close ranks against the tenacious repoter, the past threatens to drown them in its wake. It will take Caroline's willingness to right a wrong, Ashley's struggle to face her greatest fears, and Kate's attempt to embrace life -- and love -- again to finally calm the winds and stop the rain. REVIEWS ... "Freethy skillfully keeps the reader on the hook , and her tantalizing and believable tale has it all -- romance, adventure and mystery." Booklist (Starred Review) "Freethy's zesty storytelling will keep readers hooked, and the sisters' loving but prickly interactions will make anyone with a sibling smile." Publishers Weekly "Graced with sympathetic, well-defined characters and an intriguing multi-threaded plot, this is an emotionally involving story ... sure to please Freethy's growing fan base, and like Kristin Hannah's novels, neatly bridges the gap between romance and traditional women's fiction." Library Journal "In the tradition of LaVyrle Spencer, gifted author Barbara Freethy creates an irresistible tale of family secrets, riveting adventure and heart-touching romance." Susan Wiggs "Barbara Freethy writes with bright assurance, exploring the bonds of sisterhood and the excitement of blue-water sailing." Luanne Rice

A fabulous free download that I would've gladly paid for and can recommend reading. A well-written romance with a fairly meaty storyline behind it, that took a few very unexpected, surprising twists and in a descriptively beautiful setting.
Whilst I found the opening chapters a little slow in getting going, when it did I found it difficult to put down. Kate, Ashley and Caroline are great characters; all with their own strengths and weaknesses and all so different. Their sisterly rivalry, insecurities, disagreements and love for one another are true-to-life and the men in the book bring out the best and worst in them.

A friend told me about this writer, and Amazon have a few of her books for free.
This is a great read, good story with a good twist. I can see why the sisters turned up they way they did, what a secret the father asked them to keep. Very will written, kept me wondring about how it will end. All in all enjoyed it a lot.

Lies!
I enjoyed this book - - it took a different perspective on family loyalty without considering the repurcussions of lies on the siblings.
