Summer at Whispering Hope — Jean Woodward

Sarah Collins feels there must be more to life than her dull job at the library and her dull dates with Ralph Martin who just doesn't three her at all. So she eagerly accepts an invitation from her Aunt Theo in Oregon and finds herself in a fascinating new world. Suddenly Sarah is attracted to two intriguing young men -- Donahue, the intense, brooding head wrangler at her aunt's Whispering Hope Lodge, and Nicky Forbes, the rich, blonde, magnetic summer vacationer. Then Sarah's world slowly shatters when she hears disturbing rumors about a serious boating accident Nicky caused the previous summer. She is even more upset when she suspects that Donahue, for some unknown devious reason is terrifying the guests at Whispering Hope!
