Under Nantucket Skies by Katie Winters

Nearly thirty years after a fire destroyed her family and her future, Francesca returns to Nantucket and the man she never stopped loving.

At seventeen, Francesca Accetta arrived on Nantucket with her famous filmmaker father and promptly fell for Benjamin Whitmore, the heir to the legendary White Oak Lodge. Their love was fierce, youthful, and unforgettable. But determined to prove herself as an artist in her own right, Francesca left Benjamin behind and returned to Rome, never imagining how deeply their lives would remain entwined.

Nearly thirty years later, the past refuses to stay buried.

After a devastating fire destroyed White Oak Lodge and Francesca’s husband, son, and brother were presumed dead, she built a new life in Italy, one shaped by grief, unanswered questions, and the children she loves beyond measure. But when Francesca receives a life-altering cancer diagnosis, she also uncovers a shocking truth: Benjamin Whitmore has been alive all along.

Instead of revealing her illness to her daughters, Francesca orchestrates an extravagant return to Nantucket, determined to reunite her family with the man who once broke her heart. Back on the island, old wounds resurface, long-held secrets demand to be faced, and Francesca must confront the mistakes that cost her everything, including the first man she ever loved.

With the unexpected support of the Whitmore family, Francesca begins a journey of reckoning, forgiveness, and healing, one that may finally reveal what truly happened to her brother, the fate of her missing son, and whether the Whitmore treasure is more than just a legend.

Sometimes, coming home is the bravest thing a woman can do.

Under Nantucket Skies is book four of The Whitmore Series, a heartfelt and hopeful family drama perfect for your next beach read.
