A devoted wife. A Hollywood starlet. A deadly affair. And a daughter searching for the truth—no matter what the cost. Beneath the surface of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, a tangled love story unfolds—wrapped in lies, betrayal, and a mysterious death.

​

When fifty-three-year-old Charlotte returns to South Carolina to settle her late mother’s estate, her life is falling apart. Her marriage is crumbling, and she suspects her husband is cheating—again. She keeps seeing the name “SJP” flash across his phone screen and can’t help picturing a sultry woman in a pink tutu—straight out of Sex and the City. But Charlotte doesn't confront him—she can only handle one heartbreak at a time.

​

Then comes a bigger surprise. She's inherited The Inn at Salt Hollow, an abandoned beachfront property on Isle of Palms. Inside its weathered walls, she finds antiques, letters, and a buried chapter of her family's past—an affair between her father and a 1970s Hollywood starlet, a mysterious death, and a hidden gun that raises more questions than answers.

​

But there to catch her is Beau Preston, her late mother’s trust attorney, whose undeniable charm stirs an unfamiliar desire, blurring the line between right and wrong. As the two grow closer, she finds herself leaning on him more than she expected—and soon, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore.​

​

As the past unravels, Charlotte must untangle not just her family’s history, but her own—and choose what’s still worth fighting for.​​​
