Summer affair by Elin Hilderbrand

Claire Danner Crispin is a renowned Glassblower, who lives on the Island of Nantucket with her husband and four young children. Claire hasn’t worked in over a year, since the premature birth of her youngest son, but Lock Dixon, a wealthy and influential man, asks her to help organise a charity gala and to create a museum worthy piece of glass to donate to the cause. Out of a sense of guilt Claire obliges. Another reason Claire was asked to co-chair the summer gala is her link to rock star Max West. Max and Claire were High School sweethearts and it is hoped Claire will be able to influence Max to play at the gala. Over the course of a year working on her piece and organising the gala, Claire and Lock Dixon spend a lot of time working closely together, an attraction grows and they embark on an affair, and what will happen when her old love Max West comes back to Nantucket? I enjoyed this book and would recommend it as a holiday read, or something light before going to bed.
