These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean

Artist Alice Storm, who has never fit in among her family, races home to her ancestral home on a private Narragansett Bay island after learning of the accidental death of her eccentric, self-made father, Franklin. After a one-night stand with a stranger she meets on the train, Alice arrives on the island to a chilly reception from her family: old-money mother Elisabeth, dutiful eldest sister Greta, tarnished golden-boy brother Sam, and new-age-y youngest sister Emily. The family's grief is interrupted by Jack, Franklin's fixer, bearing a game that the remaining Storms must play if they want to inherit Franklin's billions. If they want to compete, they must remain on the island for a full week. Over the course of the week, the Storm family's chaos and secrets weigh on Alice, but even stranger is that Jack happens to be her one-night stand from the train—just an unlucky coincidence…or is it?
