Publisher's summary

A romantic mystery novel set in the enchanting Chesapeake Bay area during the whimsical yet tumultuous era of the early 1920s.

Our story revolves around the compelling protagonist, Pen Shell, a tenacious twenty-four-year-old anchored to her family's weather-beaten estate. Perched upon the picturesque Chesapeake Bay, this relic is a poignant symbol of faded elegance and encumbering responsibilities that bars Pen into a life of dreary routine.

Her usual monotony is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Donald Allison, a mysterious outlier with an enchanting charm. Despite an initial stage of tension, an undeniably magnetic attraction forms between them, embroiling Pen into a whirlwind of complex emotions and profound conversations about literature and life.

Suddenly, Pen’s life takes a shocking twist when a newspaper article indicates her new-found friend as a murder suspect. Going against her father's decision, Pen trusts her intuition regarding Allison’s innocence and embarks on a perilous journey to prove the same.

The narrative shifts from the tranquil Bay to buzzing New York City, where Pen unveils a wickedly interconnected plot between Allison, a notorious gangster, Spike Talley, and wealthy antagonist, Ernest Riever. A theatrical court-room drama ensues as Pen presents her stinging discoveries, leading to Riever's downfall and Allison's subsequent acquittal.

In the aftermath of their battle against injustice, Pen and Allison seek refuge from the public eye. They drive away from the chaotic city towards a new horizon, their shared ordeal culminating in a deep bond. This blissful respite brings Pen the solace she craved and the strength to finally break free from her melancholic existence.
