After her miscarriage, Feisty Bree O'Brien flees Chesapeake Shores and the man she loves with no explanation. Jake Collins is now left alone to mourn the loss of his love and his child. Leaving Jake, Bree is determined to follow her dreams of becoming a successful playwright in Chicago. The fascinating and famous playwright Martin "Marty" Demming becomes her mentor, as well as her lover.

Following Bree's visit home for the opening of her sister's Inn at Eagle Point, she finds herself staying and opening Flowers on Main, a small flower shop. Bree is forced to purchase her inventory from Jake, as he is the best and closest nursery. In a tangle of conflicted emotions, Bree and Jake try to recover what they lost six years ago, as they both still carry the love they once shared even. They find their faith in one another has been badly shaken. Even the determination Jake has to avoid Bree is not enough to prevent their destination.

At Jake's suggestion, Bree is excited at the prospect of opening a community theater in which to produce her plays. As she feels she has finally convinced Jake of her devotion and love for a new beginning, Marty appears to create doubt and offer Bree the fame she deserves in presenting her play in Chicago. Jake is again devastated and feels the loss, even though Bree strives to convince him it is a dream she no longer desires.

FLOWERS ON MAIN, the second novel in the Chesapeake Shores series, is another wonderful insightful story of the O'Brien family. The closeness of the siblings and the continuing saga of the impending reconciliation of their parents continues. The characters created by Sherryl Woods continue to be warm, loving and caring individuals, willing to fight for each other in their search for happiness. The setting at a beautiful seaside creates a very colorful background for a very warm and beautiful story that will touch your soul.
