Landmark, Painter Place Saga 4

A daydream. A dance. A dangerous rendezvous.
 

After graduating college and arriving home to Painter Place in the summer of 1960, a young bachelor named Wyeth Painter dreams of living a quiet life. But his father sends him to London to teach an art class where he meets and falls for model Chrissy Carnet, an American from Washington, D.C. By the time he discovers the stunning young lady's father is a fearsome international spy who brought them together, Wyeth's heart is in chaos. 

Unnerved, Wyeth puts distance between them and returns home, where he struggles to evade inquiries about the mysterious young woman he spent time with in London. Chrissy's portrait is on a display easel in his studio, and even his little sister reads the telltale hallmarks of his emotions in the painting. Romance is also in the island air for his younger brother and for his best friend, leaving Wyeth feeling lonely.

Chrissy has always daydreamed of living in a small coastal town. Before her estrangement from Wyeth in London, the Gregory family invited her to visit the island. Her mind and her heart are settled as she makes plans to arrive, and with the Island Summer Dance looming ahead, Wyeth tries to protect Painter Place from any danger her presence might bring. Will he force himself to get over her, or can both their dreams intertwine and come true?

"The ending was incredible and brings the whole series together; giving some answers to questions the readers may have in the previous books. This novel can stand alone to be read, it can be read first if you like, or you can read the series in sequence. Whichever way you chose to read it, the important thing is to read it." -Mary Ann, Godly Book Reviews blog
