Sherryl Woods | Introducing Chesapeake Shores

facebookgoodreads

Dear friends:
FLOWERS ON
MAINHARBOR
LIGHTS

As many of you know after finding a character accidentally renamed in my Trinity
Harbor trilogy, I am very much a right-brain writer with a terrible tendency to
lose track of such pesky little things as names. Imagine, then, the challenge of
creating a whole new world...and then trying to keep everyone straight.

Even so, I'm so excited to be welcoming you to Chesapeake Shores and the completely dysfunctional and complicated O'Brien family. Kicking off with THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, this new series captures everything I love about family dynamics, romance and the kind of small towns in which we all wish we lived.

As the oldest of five siblings, Abby O'Brien Winters took her role as surrogate
mother seriously when her parents divorced, especially when it came to Jess, her
youngest sister. So when Jess's dream of renovating The Inn at Eagle Point is
threatened by a bank foreclosure, financial whiz Abby comes home to Chesapeake
Shores to set things right.

Abby's exactly the kind of take-charge woman that Jess needs, but her bossiness
grates and threatens their strong bond as sisters. Add in the complicated
relationship each of them has with their father, famed architect Mick O'Brien
and tension abounds.

Unfortunately, that's the least of what Abby faces as she tries to save the day, because her old love, Trace Riley, stands squarely between her and her goal of saving the inn. See what I mean about a world of complications? And this is just the start of things. There will be more about the O'Briens when we return to Chesapeake Shores next month for Bree's story in FLOWERS ON MAIN and then again the following month for Kevin's return to town in HARBOR LIGHTS.

I hope you'll fall in love with all the O'Briens and with this town on the
shores of the Chesapeake Bay in one of my very favorite parts of the world. Best
of all, I'm certain no characters have changed names between books. Well, pretty
sure, anyway.

All good wishes,
Sherryl Woods

I have wondered what I was going to read after I finish with Robyn Carr's Virgin River series. Now I know just what to read.

I know I'm looking forward to another Sherryl Woods book!

The Chesapeake is a special area. Visited
it a few times, but would love to go back
now that the children are grown to really
enjoy a relaxing trip. Look forward to
your series, Sherryl.

Got my copy today! Can't wait to read it!

Can't wait to start reading another great series. I just finished reading the whole Robyn Carr series "Virgin River" and I love continuing series about all the characters involved, so this looks great! Thank You.

I enjoy finding books that involve sisters, having three sisters of my own. Looking forward to reading about the relationship between Abby and Jess.
