Palms on the Cape

“Palms on the Cape is a page turning, delicious escape with a main character you can’t help but root for, a charming slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance, an enviable found family, and a touch of intrigue. I loved it!” —Meredith Schorr, author of Roommating and As Seen on TV

After a tumultuous childhood with a mother she describes as “a train wreck compounded by a dumpster fire that smelled like cheap perfume,” Rachel Sinclair has made a life for herself. On the verge of turning forty, her upscale beach bar—Palms on the Cape—is packed with vacationers and regulars throughout the busy Cape Cod summer season. She has surrounded herself with a chosen family of devoted staff and great friends, including her best friend, Carlos…who she might be in love with.

When a visiting study group from a Vermont business school, known as the A-List, descends on Rachel’s bar in late August, she gets pulled in by the charms of their leader, Tripper, a younger man with good looks, access, and tremendous connections in the restaurant industry.

But when Rachel learns of the A-List’s plans to take over her business, she must decide if it’s worth the gamble to join forces with an unlikely ally or risk losing everything she has worked for.
