"Conley Hawkins left her family's small town newspaper, the Silver Bay Beacon, years ago. Now a star reporter for a big-city paper, Conley is offered a new position in Washington, D.C.--but the job goes up in smoke. Conley finds herself back working for her sister at the Silver Bay Beacon, and she's been assigned the local gossip column, "Hello, Summer." Then Conley witnesses an accident that kills a local congressman--a beloved war hero with a shady past. The more she digs into the story, the more dangerous it gets. As an old heartbreaker causes trouble and a new flame ignites, it looks like their sleepy beach town is the most scandalous hotspot of the summer"--Page 4 of cover.
