Synopsis
Dear Reader,
I have something to confide in you. I think my husband, Dave, might be having an affair. I found an earring in his pocket, and it's not mine. I'm also worried because some jewelry was recently stolen from an old womanâ"and Dave used to visit her a lot.
You see, he's a pastor. And a good man. I can't believe he's guilty of anything, but why won't he tell me where he's been when he comes home so late?
Reader, I'd love to hear what you think. I also want to tell you what's going on with your other friends in Cedar Cove. Like Sheriff Troy Davis, to mention one. His long-ago love, Faith Beckwith, just moved here!
So come on in and join me for a cup of tea.
Emily Flemming

Her wild youth was a thing of the past.

Valerie Wentworth had paid dearly for the mistakes she'd made as a passionate girl. Turned out of her grandfather's house, she had raised Tadd, her son, all alone.

Kevin Royce was one tough guy
A big, strapping ex-marine, he seemed immune to pain. And when Kevin single-handledly tackled a burglar outside Julie Bennett's came in for his appointment and fainted dead away at the sight of her drill.

Fortunately for Kevin, Julie found his incongruous fear of dentists endearing. But Julie had fears of her own. She knew Kevin loved her, but there were things he wouldn't tell her. Kevin asked for her trust, and to Julie, trust didn't come easy.

Could Kevin convince her that sometimes, in matters of the heart, you had to proceed on blind faith?

Does hearbreak last forever?

Casey could only hope that time would ease the pain. Falling in love with Flint McCallister had been a cruel twist of fate.

It was ironic, actually, because Casey initially hadn't wanted Flint to manage the ranch. Her hostility had been obvious. Now here she was contemplating life without Flint as though it were the end of the world.

For Flint had made his feelings perfectly clear when he said "Casey, can't you get it through your head that I Don't want you here!"

Bulls Island
"A satisfying tale of honor, chance, and star-crossed love, infused with Southern wit, grace, and charm, from the New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank.
This is the story of two southern families. The Langley Family has more money that Morgan Stanley Bank. And they think they have more class. The McGee family made their nineteenth century fortunes in a less distinguished manner - corner groceries and liquor stores.
It's no surprise that when JD Langley and Elizabeth "Betts" McGee fall in love and decide to marry, their parents are none too pleased. And when the night of their engagement ends with a tragic accident, everyone is ready to place blame and the love affair comes to an end.
Twenty years later, Betts, who has not had contact with her own family or JD in years, must return home to fight some local developers on Bulls Island. But she has a big secret.
When sparks fly as she and JD are reunited
