  As a reporter, Emma is used to covering Newport's social events. But this time she is appearing on the arm of her fiancé, Derrick Andrews, at a small but exclusive gathering of the New York Yacht Club at Beacon Rock, the Grecian-inspired summer "cottage" of Edwin and Elizabeth Morgan. The members—which include cousin and Yacht Club Commodore John Pierpoint Morgan and widow Lucy Carnegie, the first woman to be admitted to the Club—are there to discuss their strategy for the next America's Cup Challenge, to be held in New York Harbor the following summer. 
   
   
    
  But it's Emma who must come up with a strategy when she discovers a woman's body bobbing against one of the hulls of the boats moored at the base of Beacon Rock. Is it possible she fell from the Newport ferry and was carried by the tide? Or could she have drowned herself or fallen victim to foul play? 
   
   
    
  After the woman is identified as the missing daughter of a yacht designer, the police—with the exception of Emma's friend Detective Jesse Whyte—hastily conclude she is a suicide, perhaps to quiet any scandal for the Morgans, since her body was found floating near their property. But Emma suspects the woman was murdered and begins to sort through a who's who of sportsmen, boat crews, and the Newport elite in search of a stone-cold killer . . .

  Ellie Simons stands to inherit her Uncle Merlin's huge English country house. But on three utterly bizarre conditions. One: she must lose sixty-three pounds (rude!). Two: she must marry the fake fiancé she's been passing off as her true love all weekend. And three: she must catch whoever killed Uncle Merlin in the first place.

  But Bentley and her catty family are the least of Ellie's worries. Uncle Merlin's death looks more than a little bit like murder. Which can only mean one thing. One of her horrid relatives is the killer . . .

  Framed for the brutal attack on her manager, indie rock legend Red Nelson flees to the only family she doesn’t yet know: her estranged sister, Kate Fisher, a Search & Rescue pilot working the remote mountains of upper New York State. Kate, the daughter of her father's legitimate but unhappy marriage, has no wish to meet Red, the product of her father’s passionate love affair, but when Kate’s daughter, Molly, decides to hide Red on their property, concern over Molly’s safety forces Kate to stage a rescue and repair the broken but longed-for family she comes from. A Woman’s Guide to Search & Rescue explores the unexpected gift of found family in times of loss and tragedy, the forging of new relationship between two related strangers, and the discovery by three women of different generations who learn that by saving each other, they save themselves.
