  After almost losing her fourth child in an accident at work, Claire Danner Crispin has given up her career as a nationally renowned glassblower at the request of her husband, Jason. Weighed down by guilt, she devotes all her time to her family - but worries she is losing her own identity in the process. But when Lock Dixon asks Claire to help organise the annual Nantucket Children's Charity Gala, she is given a new sense of purpose. She is asked in part because her school sweetheart, Max West, is now a world-famous rock star and it's hoped she will persuade him to play at the event. But Lock also wants her to produce a piece of art to raise money for the charity - which means defying her husband's request to stop work. And as she spends more time with Lock, she realises a growing attraction between them which neither can ignore ...

  Marriage can be as fragile as glass - it looks solid, but sometimes the slightest thing can break it...Glass-sculptor Claire understands the fragility of things more than anyone. One year ago she overheated in her studio and fainted, causing the premature birth of her son. Since then, she's given up work, and devoted herself to her husband and children. But then Lock Dixon begs her to provide a glass sculpture for a charity gala night. Claire knows that her family should come first, but overwhelmed by the guilt she feels about his wife's horrific accident, and unable to ignore the chemistry building between herself and Lock, she just can't say no. Her decision will call her marriage, her friendships and all her loves - past and present -into question. And as her emotions are pushed to the limit, Claire will be left wondering if her life can ever be pieced back together?
