Books with author Elin Hilderbrand

An emotional, heartwarming story from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand about a grieving family that finds solace where they least expect it. Celebrity chef Deacon Rowe is struggling with addiction, depression and not one, but two scandals. As summer nears, he travels to the idyllic Eastern bluff of Nantucket, where he takes his own life. In the shocking wake of Deacon's suicide, his first wife and childhood sweetheart, Laurel Rowe, sets out to gather Deacon's far-flung family--including Deacon and Laurel's son, and Deacon's other ex-wives and children--on the island. HERE'S TO US brings together three very different, resilient women and their children, who start out not only as strangers, but as bitter rivals, each wanting to claim the prime place in Deacon's life. Secrets are revealed, confidences are shared, and improbable bonds are formed as this unlikely family says goodbye to the man they loved.

Secret lives and new loves emerge in the bright Caribbean sunlight, in the follow-up to national bestseller Winter in Paradise A year ago, Irene Steele had the shock of her life: her loving husband, father to their grown sons and successful businessman, was killed in a plane crash. But that wasn't Irene's only shattering news: he'd also been leading a double life on the island of St. John, where another woman loved him, too. Now Irene and her sons are back on St. John, determined to learn the truth about the mysterious life -and death - of a man they thought they knew. Along the way, they're about to learn some surprising truths about their own lives, and their futures. Lush with the tropical details, romance, and drama that made Winter in Paradise a national bestseller, What Happens in Paradise is another immensely satisfying page-turner from one of American's most beloved and engaging storytellers.

Three romantic rivals. One crowded house. Plenty of room for jealously. Laurel Thorpe, Belinda Rowe, and Scarlett Oliver share only two things-a love for the man they all married, Deacon Thorpe-and a passionate dislike of one another. Their fragile detente threatens to come crashing down after Deacon's tragic death in his favorite place on earth: Nantucket. Deacon's final wish is for his makeshift family to assemble on the island to say goodbye. Begrudgingly, Laurel, Belinda, and Scarlett gather together as once again they're left to pick up Deacon's mess. Before the weekend is over, there are enough accusations, lies, tears, and drama to turn even the best of friends-let alone three women who married the same man-into adversaries. As his unlikely family says goodbye to the man who brought them together-for better or worse-will they be able to put aside their differences long enough to raise a glass in Deacon's honor?
