#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods tests the strength of the beloved O’Briens and proves that love and family can always triumph!
When former pro football quarterback Aidan Mitchell comes to Chesapeake Shores to take a high school coaching job, he’s embraced by the town—especially the O’Briens. But Aidan has a secret that could alter all their lives.
For wounded Liz March, who’s trying for a fresh start after a devastating betrayal, taking a chance on Aidan may be more than she can handle. Her heart, however, refuses to listen to her head. But just when forever seems within reach, Aidan’s secret threatens to change everything.
Does this tempting stranger who’s made her feel alive have the power to convince her to look beyond the past and reach for the future?
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. In Amazing Gracie, as in her later Trinity Harbor series, Woods creates a fictional version of the town where she spends summers on the shores of the Potomac River. “This town just lends itself to fascinating characters and a charming locale,” she says.
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. “Wherever I am, if there’s no water in sight, I get a little antsy,” she says.

My Review
When pro football star Aidan Mitchell is invited to Chesapeake Shores as a prospective high school coach, he jumps at the opportunity. Not for the job, but for the chance to meet the man who fathered him.
He didn’t expect to fall in love with the town, or Liz March.
Liz is a recent transplant to Chesapeake Shores and has opened a pet supply store, which is perfect because there isn’t a stray she doesn’t want to care for. Including the new football coach, Aidan Mitchell.
Liz isn’t looking for romance though, she’s been down the marriage road and has the scars to prove it. But something about the tall, handsome Aidan has her thinking about second chances.
This is a heartwarming romance done by the queen of small town romance, Sherryl Woods. I enjoyed reconnecting with the O’Briens and their friends. It’s the author’s strong characterizations and love of traditions that keep readers coming back for more.

That’s how I was feeling at that moment, sitting in my husband’s desk chair, holding a confession letter ending our twenty-year marriage in my lap. The song was over.
I couldn’t stay in a marriage after that, I’d always…
