Dara Willcox, in New York for a weekend, meets Austin Clarke at an art gallery, and they fall in love at first sight. At their April engagement dinner at Dara’s family home, her mother, Lee, sets a beautiful table, and the family and close friends gather to celebrate. Days later, Austin hears unsettling news from London that wrecks their plans and Dara abruptly cancels the wedding, but refuses to reveal the reason, disrupting their family tradition of openness. While Dara escapes to California and Indigo Island, South Carolina, Austin, back in London, faces a major tragedy, the consequences of which are life-altering. But it’s Lee whose impulsive visit to London alters their fate.
