The Cliff: A Novel
In this sizzling, suspenseful debut, the lives of four women in their late thirties converge one summer on the wealthy Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Meet Allison, Kate, Carla and Brooke.
One of them is harboring a devastating secret. One person in their group won’t make it to summer’s end alive. And one among them might very well be a killer.
Carla and Lawrence Rossi think they’ve landed in paradise when they move into their summer home in Cisco Beach and immediately bond with the fun, beautiful couple next door. Little do the newcomers know their neighbors, Allison and Marc, are part of an exclusive, invitation-only underground social set—and they’re already looking to recruit the Rossis.
Socialite Kate, Allison’s best-friend-turned-frenemy, is a full-time resident of Nantucket. She has the veneer of an upscale real-estate agent who married into one of the island’s wealthiest families, but Kate is also the ringleader of their exclusive swinging club, and she’s green with jealousy over the new sexy couple who’s captured Allison’s attention.
In the meantime, Kate and her husband, Jon, have their sights set on conquests of their own this Brooke, who’s grieving a terrible loss, and her charming financier husband Kevin.
Sexy, suspenseful, naughty and gripping, The Cliff explores what happens outside the sheets when monogamous couples risk upending their comfortable lives in search of excitement. As the four couples’ lives barrel toward a dramatic conclusion, readers are treated to twists and revelations surrounding the baggage and complex relationships between the couples who venture into the swinging lifestyle.

Salty and spicy all rolled into a sizzling read!
Great debut, looking forward to the follow up as there needs to be one..asap!
Early chapters take a bit as you learn about the characters but look out…before you know it…low tide will have turned to high tide as the pages fly bye!
Enjoy the book that takes you to the famous island of Nantucket!

Tangled Web!
Well developed characters ensnared in a complicated, upside down pineapple lifestyle. All is never as it seems for these adventure-seeking couples in such a wealthy, exclusive summer playground.

Don’t waste your time. This book was horrible. The only consolation was that it was on kindle unlimited so I didn’t pay for it.

I read this book in ARC form and loved it. I love the multiple POVs, the stunning setting, the way the friendships between the women shift and evolve, and the way the author kept me guessing.
The lives of four women--four couples, really--intersect one summer on Nantucket. Each character is distinct, different, and layered.
Be aware that it's spicy. It has some sexy elements due being set in the upscale/underground swinger scene, but the way the author builds suspense also makes it a great psychological read with a dash of mystery and some thrills along the way. Highly recommend. It will be available on Kindle Unlimited, so hopefully people will take a chance on this debut author.
