Harbor Lights (Chesapeake Shores Series #3) » (Original)

With her roots firmly planted in the South, Sherryl Woods has written many of her more than 100 books in that distinctive setting, whether her home state of Virginia, her adopted state, Florida, or her much-adored South Carolina. She's also especially partial to small towns, wherever they may be. A member of Novelists Inc., Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America, Sherryl divides her time between her childhood summer home overlooking the Potomac River in Colonial Beach, Virginia, and her oceanfront home, with its lighthouse view, in Key Biscayne, Florida.

Struggling in his role as a newly single father, former army medic Kevin O’Brien moves home to Chesapeake Shores. He wants a haven for himself and his toddler son, surrounded by the family he knows he can count on, and a future that’s nothing like his past. But Kevin is suddenly facing a risk he hadn’t anticipated, in the form of Main Street bookseller Shanna Carlyle.

Shanna immediately recognizes Kevin as a wounded soul — she’s had way too much experience with the type. Still, this charming O’Brien man and his son are almost impossible to resist.

Then, just when the barriers are toppling, someone from Shanna’s past appears. Confronted with a threat to their hard-won serenity, Kevin and Shanna face their toughest challenge — learning to trust again.

“Sherryl Woods always delights her readers—including me!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Stunned and heartbroken when his medic wife dies in Iraq, paramedic Kevin O'Brien closes down his life in Arlington, VA, and brings his young son home to Chesapeake Shores in Harbor Lights. Family support and plenty of meddling abound, but, strangely, nothing seems right until he meets bookstore owner Shanna Carlyle, a woman whose baggage rivals, or even exceeds, his own. Warm, complex, and satisfying, this latest addition to the series sensitively and realistically deals with serious issues and satisfactorily resolves them.
