Optimized Title: Vacation Reads: The Beach Club and Summer People

Swept away to an island where memories are made, friendships begun, and passions ignited - this is the experience offered in two beloved Nantucket classics collected into one volume, High Tide, by New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.

In The Beach Club, Mack Petersen has returned, as always, on the first day of May to once again open and manage the Nantucket Beach Club and Hotel alongside its owners, Bill and Therese Elliott. Years ago, Mack escaped the past and started over at this hotel, and it has since become his life and his home. However, though he has poured his heart and soul into the club, he knows that it will eventually pass not to him, but to Cecily Elliott, the owners' daughter. At eighteen, Cecily is wild and beautiful, and increasingly desperate to break free on her own, even though she knows doing so will break her parents' hearts. And this summer, as Bill's health begins to falter, all of the guests and staff of this esteemed island establishment can feel the storm coming that will change everything forever.

In Summer People, recent widow Beth can barely keep things together, but she still decides that she must continue the family tradition of going to Nantucket, and fulfill a promise that her late husband Arch made before he died. Beth invites Marcus, the son of Arch's final and most challenging client, to spend the summer with her and her teenage twins, Winnie and Garrett. But when they stumble upon a shocking secret from Beth's past, they must keep it from destroying the family they've been trying so hard to heal.
