A Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand
(Nantucket Series 1)
2008

Claire Danner Crispin can't seem to forget that night back in 2003 when Daphne's car hit that deer. She had been very drunk when she got behind the wheel that night. Claire has always felt some responsibility for not insisting she take a cab with the rest of the ladies.

Although Daphne was fortunate to survive the tragedy, she was still left with a traumatic brain injury. Claire doesn't know what to expect when Lock, Daphne's husband, approaches her in 2007 to co-chair the Nantucket Children's Fund. She soon learns his motives are to utilize her connection with an old boyfriend turned musician to play at the event. He isn't hesitant to ask her to also create a dazzling auction piece since she is a well respected glass blower.

Claire agrees to take on these extra responsibilities at the dismay of her husband who would prefer she stay home and care for their 4 children. The meetings for the charity begin to become more frequent and more intimate between Claire and Lock.
The ethical questions arise about marriage, family and commitment.
