The baby is on the way, but a surprise second pregnancy stirs up old memories that threaten a lifelong friendship. Sharon Stewart is the proud owner of the beloved Bluewater Bay Inn- a charming Victorian in a small town on Cape Cod’s coast. Her life is full of good friends, a fulfilling job and the attention of a handsome attorney, but she’d give it all up for the one thing she lost years ago- a child. Sharon nearly lets go of her dream when her best friend Meg agrees to be the surrogate. With the blessing of Meg’s new husband, Kevin, they embark on a journey with grand plans for the baby’s arrival. Everything is going well until hints of a buried past resurfaces. As Kevin becomes territorial about Meg and the baby, his actions raise a few eyebrows. Sharon is one of them. After a tense encounter at the doctor’s office, Sharon prepares to protect her unborn child and calls on her lawyer, who is more than happy to help. Meg notices too, but loves her husband. As the pregnancy progresses, she can’t ignore what she sees. A new life is waiting for her in Washington D.C. as a Senator’s wife after the delivery, but Meg is having some doubts. The baby is coming. Everyone is excited and the plans for a grand shower are underway. Meanwhile, Sharon and Meg are doing all they can to keep their families and friendship from falling apart. Will the baby’s arrival end their decades long friendship or will saving what’s important mean letting go of what they want the most? Escape to Bluewater Bay, The Serenity Beach Series and discover how Ciara, Megan and Sharon navigate the tidal waves of this small beach town.

Book Description
Working with her was bad, but living with him was worse and he can’t imagine life without her. Donna Hughes, a newcomer to the island, is finally free and moving forward with her new life in the town of Somerset. Co-owning a business with a silent partner gives her unimagined independence. He rarely comes into the cafe and leaves the day-to-day operations to her. After settling into her charming rented guest house near the beach, a historic winter storm sends a tree crashing through the roof. Now she has no choice but to stay in the main house with her business partner. During the renovations, she holds fast to her secret. If he even suspects the truth, her time in Somerset will end. Garrett hates the way he feels when Donna’s around. Running the harbor and handling rowdy boaters is a piece of cake compared to managing his irksome feelings for her. Keeping his distance while she runs the business and rents out his guest house was the perfect solution. He had it figured out until a winter storm slammed a tree through the roof of the guest house. Donna’s shivering lips and distressed face nipped at his heart. He had no choice but to offer his home. She’d only have to stay with him for a couple of weeks, right? He’s lived on a boat for longer than that. One renovation snag after another makes her stay longer than expected. As the situation unravels, the truth about the business and their feelings comes to light. And it might be the end of a beautiful beginning in this grumpy hero office romance.

Book Description
On the eve of the Great Depression, Verna Krone, the child of Irish immigrants, must leave the eighth grade and begin working as a maid to help support her family. Her employer takes inappropriate liberties, and as Verna matures, it seems as if each man she meets is worse than the last. Through sheer force of will and a few chance encounters, she manages to teach herself to read and becomes a nurse. But Verna's new life falls to pieces when she is arrested for assisting a black doctor with illegal surgeries. As the media firestorm rages, Verna reflects on her life while awaiting trial.Based on the life of the author's own grandmother and written after almost three hundred interviews with those involved in the real-life scandal, The Blue Orchard is as elegant and moving as it is exact and convincing. It is a dazzling portrayal of the changes America underwent in the first fifty years of the twentieth century. Readers will be swept into a time period that in many ways mirrors our own. Verna Krone's story is ultimately a story of the indomitable nature of the human spirit -- and a reminder that determination and self-education can defy the deforming pressures that keep women and other disenfranchised groups down.
