Modeled after the “cottages” of Newport, Rhode Island, the   spacious, elegant property, sitting on fourteen acres of lush Bel Air, fits its owner   to a T. For the man behind the wheel of the Rolls is Hollywood’s ageless wonder,   Cooper Winslow. A star of the silver screen for decades, a man whose allure to women   is the stuff of legend, Coop exudes grace, charm, and old-fashioned style. But today   Coop Winslow is in for a major surprise. He’s broke. And with no major roles coming   his way, Coop is faced with the heartbreaking prospect of selling his beloved home   of forty years, or at least renting out the gatehouse and part of the main house. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e His new tenants, Mark Friedman and Jimmy O’Connor, are busy coping with   problems of their own. Mark’s wife of sixteen years just walked out, and Jimmy recently   lost his own wife to a devastating illness. But everything changes when Mark’s teenage   son and daughter move in. Suddenly, The Cottage is transformed, with music blasting   from every corner, teenagers on skateboards crashing into vintage cars, and a never-ending   parade of young starlets streaming in and out to visit Coop. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But amid all the noise   and the chaos, something unexpected is happening.  Three men who never would have   met are becoming friends . . . and each man finds himself changing in surprising ways,   Coop most of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First,   a tabloid scandal erupts, threatening Coop’s budding romance with a wealthy debutante.   . . A stranger approaches Coop with stunning news. . . . A devastating accident almost   claims the life of one of the housemates. . . . And in the midst of it all, The Cottage   welcomes a new houseguest with a secret of her own, who will change Coop’s life in   unexpected ways.  Because among the people who share his cottage and his life, Coop   Winslow–loner, bachelor, movie star–may find the rarest of all opportunities: a chance   to build a happiness he could never have dreamed of on his own, and to become the   kind of human being he has never been. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Against a glittering backdrop of celebrity   and glamour, Danielle Steel digs deeper to tell a story of friendship and love, tragedy   and second chances . . . of the choices and unexpected turns of fate that can shape characters   and lives.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49341376561456,"sku":"BDawa9","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/193427-awa9-Square.jpg?v=1734059972","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-awa9","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
