About A Summer for Moths

A lyrical, high-stakes romance thriller inspired by The Great Gatsby A Summer for Moths is the ballad of Booth Baker, working musician and songwriter hiding out in the guise of a handyman and terrorized by the death in high school that forced him to flee his hometown. When Booth receives the call from his estranged brother with a summer job offer helping maintain rental properties in Connecticut, he’s thrust into the secret world of the “Gold Coast.” There he meets Abby Evers – beautiful, transfixing, and haunted by her own demons. His desire brings him, moth-like, closer to the flames. Soon, Booth is caught in a web woven much tighter than he could’ve imagined. And when he discovers the truth behind Abby’s husband and his business partners’ dealings, he’s forced to place everything on the line: the chance to reconcile his past, his and Abby’s life in the present, and their chance at a future together.
