The Gilly Salt Sisters by Tiffany Baker

Set in a sleepy Cape Cod village, this second novel from Tiffany Baker (The Little Giant of Aberdeen County) centres on the Gilly sisters: loner Jo, who has devoted her life to the family’s salt farm, and beautiful Claire, who seeks to escape at any cost. Claire gets her wish when the town’s wealthiest bachelor (and Jo’s old flame) asks her to marry him. But a series of unfortunate events lead Claire — and her husband’s teenage mistress — back to the farm where she must reconcile with Jo to protect their livelihood against a familiar nemesis.
