CHERRY LANE is another great novel by Rochelle Alers.
It's book number five in the Cavanaugh Island
Series.
CHERRY LANE can be read as a standalone. This series is
centered
around the three towns located on Cavanaugh Island:
Angels
Creek, Sanctuary Cove and Haven Creek. If CHERRY LANE is
the first
book in the series that you're reading, I recommend that
you
give the others books a read because they each have their
own
unique story and they give you a rich history lesson on
the
Gullah community.
CHERRY LANE is the story of New York entertainment lawyer
Devon Collins and Charleston defense attorney David
Sullivan -
- two people with strong personalities and determination.
Devon was in a relationship with Gregory Emerson for a
year
when she discovers she's pregnant. When she attempts to
contact Gregory to inform him of her pregnancy he cuts off
all
communication so Devon goes to his house to tell him when
she
discovers that not only is Gregory involved with another
woman
but he's engaged to her.
When her mother and father reject her because she intends
to
be an unwed mother she goes to Cavanaugh Island for solace
and
to decide where she wants to raise her baby.
While attending a get-together at her friend's place she
meets
David and there is immediate chemistry. Their connection
is
so strong others assume that they are in a relationship.
When David indicates that he's interested in her, Devon
wonders how interested he will be when he learns that
she's
pregnant with another man's child. David shows her that
her
pregnancy does not deter him.
After spending time on the Island Devon soon learns that
she
not only can depend on David but that she has developed
friendships with so many others that she can count on.
Devon went to the Island after her mother rejected her for
not
living up to the "family image" her mother felt she should
reflect.
Can a family relationship be mended when they turn their
backs
on you when you need them the most?
CHERRY LANE is a thought provoking story with rich
characters!
SUMMARY
A place to call home . . .
In New
York City, attorney Devon Gilmore devoted all her time and
energy to fast-track her career. She lost her boyfriend .
.
. but found herself with a surprise baby on the way. To
begin a new life, Devon needs a place to settle down-a
place
like Cavanaugh Island, where the pace is slow, the weather
is fine, and the men are even finer.
From the
moment
David Sullivan meets Devon, he knows he can't fight the
laws
of attraction. Whether it's helping fix up the old cottage
she just bought on Cherry Lane or working together on a
pro
bono legal case, he can't help feeling a little
protective.
But will the most eligible bachelor in town be ready for
an
instant family? Only if he can convince Devon to put her
heart on the line one more time-for all time.
