"A fast-paced, twisty, delicious debut, The Lake Club explores long-buried secrets, burgeoning romance, and the gossip that fuels small towns and exclusive clubs." --KRISTY WOODSON HARVEY, New York Times bestselling author of Beach House Rules
Two women in a wealthy lakeside suburb clash over a cute male nanny, pulling the town's darker secrets to the surface.
DRAMA LOVES A DEEP END
When Danika Crawley attends events at the Aldon Lakes Country Club, heads turn. Danika has it all--beauty, money, a successful husband, and two perfect children. She plans on making this summer her best season yet and has a secret weapon to secure the envy of her neighbors.
Augie Elling has lost it all. Reeling from a post-grad scandal amidst her now-former life in New York, she returns to Aldon Lakes with her tail between her legs. Augie wants to keep her head down, save money, and find a way to leave her hometown for good, but someone keeps distracting her.
Danika and Augie have one thing in common: they are both a little obsessed with Chat, the male nanny Danika hired for the summer. But, unbeknownst to either woman, Chat's appearance in town sets off a chain reaction that threatens Aldon Lakes' carefully maintained ecosystem. As the heat rises between the three of them, the truth behind a long-buried scandal comes to light, and everyone at the club must reckon with the consequences.
The Lake Club is both an addictive, rollicking beach read, and a stylish, deft exploration of a lesser-known region of American wealth.
"I'm a sucker for lakes, rich people behaving badly, outsiders to an insular world, summer parties... The Lake Club has all of this and more--its twisty, propulsive plot hooked me early and kept me turning the pages until I reached the unpredictable end." - MEG MITCHELL MOORE, author of Mansion Beach
