About this audiobook
A digital edition short story about a wife coming to terms with her fading marriage from bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.
Margot's reservoir of romantic feelings for her husband Drum is running dry. But while the family is on vacation in Nantucket, Margot finds an opportunity to potentially regain her romantic love for her husband - in the form of Hadley Axelram, his ex-girlfriend. She is counting on jealousy as a relationship defibrillator.
But after forcing her surfing-god husband to make plans for a surfing lesson with Hadley and her son, Margot is left to reminisce about the summer she fell in love with Drum, and the unexpected blossoming of their relationship. When she sees Drum and Hadley spending time together, will the spark reignite - and will her marriage be saved? Or will she find that love is truly gone from this relationship?
This touching short story about a poignant stage in a marriage explores the backstory of Margot Carmichael, one of the stars in Elin Hilderbrand's novel Beautiful Day.

A digital short story to set the stage for Elin’s upcoming book – Beautiful Day. While this couple are on vacation in Nantucket they run into an ex-girlfriend. Their marriage is already on shaky terms; and she thinks this may be her way out if her husband falls for Hadley. However, is this what she really wants ---a good read about husbands, wives, and children living in today’s world trying to survive marriage and overcoming obstacles. Looking forward to 6/25 for Beautiful Day! Have read all Elin's books - one of my favorite authors.
