The third and final book in the sexy, smart and thought-provoking SCARLET LETTER SOCIETY trilogy! Eva, now a full-time islander, has been working pro bono on the watermens’ lawsuit against
the state. She’s debating whether to take a prenatal paternity test to determine whether Charles or Nathan is the father of her child. She’s also been busy helping plan Maggie’s wedding.
Maggie and Dave, free from their past marriages, are remarrying at sunset on the island’s southernmost point. Lisa is having a hot affair with her former graphic designer Ben and is looking
forward to the wedding, for which she’s helping Eva plan and making a special cake. The three women meet on the island for girls’ weekends to discuss wedding plans and love lives.
Wes and Alfred have made it through a rocky time in their young marriage and are helping Maggie make wedding arrangements at the waterfront B&B their friends own. Zarina and Stanley are also helping with the catering; Zarina discovered her mother and Maggie’s affair but that’s nothing compared to her own secret. Unbeknownst to anyone, she’s been working with Eva’s schoolteacher friend Jo at the site of a former seafood warehouse on Matthew’s Island running a porn website for women. Catering to high-end fetish fantasies, the operation creates videos and short films and runs several websites.
Meanwhile back in Keytown, the Police Chief is trying to hide the fact that he’s having a steamy affair with Kellie, the queen of the sex club, from his co-workers. He discovers that she had been sleeping with Chaz Appleton, now on trial for homeowners’ association embezzlement. Jeannie Appleton has returned to Keytown to move out of the house and in order for her children to finish school, though she is humiliated to have her husband in the headlines. She has a crush on her attorney and fantasizes about him seducing her. Rachel, author of the Keytown Mouse blog that outed the Scarlet Letter Society, has just been released from rehab on Matthew’s Island and is staying with a woman she met in rehab during the weekend of the wedding. Finding out on Facebook that Kate is attending, Rachel, who has recently started taking a new drug with her former rehab roomie, decides to crash the event.
While storms are brewing in suburbia and on the island, a real storm is on the horizon. When a hurricane comes straight up the Chesapeake Bay, the results can be devastating. The island is already compromised by rising water levels; several islands around it have already disappeared. As Maggie and Dave’s wedding approaches, early warnings of a hurricane don’t seem serious. But as the date grows closer and the guests have all arrived, the storm warnings grow more serious. Previous storms had cut sections of the island off from the mainland. If the drawbridge was damaged, it would be difficult for anyone to leave the island. Will the characters survive the clash of their personal lives and catastrophic weather events coming together in such a dramatic fashion?
