A summer arrangement in Whitfield

At thirty-nine, Dolly Brick returns to Whitfield, Rhode Island, with her son, intent on helping her father and brother keep the family home. Her offer of help to Stewart Whitfield, a wealthy local heir dealing with a public breakup, leads to a fake-dating arrangement. The setup places a budding romance alongside Dolly’s practical responsibilities and her habit of relying on herself. Public dinners and charity benefits give way to time together away from the social spotlight, raising the question of whether a relationship that begins as a performance can become something real.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Romantic-comedy readers interested in fake-dating setups.
  • Readers drawn to stories about single motherhood and family obligations.
  • Those looking for a romance set in a seaside Rhode Island hometown.

Book overview

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion, from the New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script.

"A luminous story of love, duty, and the tension between the two, Dolly All the Time is less like a novel and more like a place I never wanted to leave. This might be my new favorite!" --Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author


If they start by pretending, can they end with something real?

Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn't solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home.

So when she comes across Stewart Whitfield--annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family--with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it's in her nature to help. But Stewart's proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high-society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that hit her bloodstream like a ghost pepper, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She's never relied on anyone besides herself--can she really start now?

"Everything I want in a love story! Dolly and Stewart's chemistry is off the charts, and their summer romance grips you from the very first page and sparkles like the sun." --Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of the Off Campus series
