Chesapeake Blue
Nora Roberts
The New Chesapeake Bay Novel
Seth Quinn is finally home. It's been a long journey. After a harrowing boyhood with
his drug-addicted mother, he'd been taken in by the Quinn
family, growing up with three older brothers who'd watched
over him with love. Now a grown man returning from Europe as a successful
painter, Seth is settling down on Maryland's Eastern Shore,
surrounded once again by Cam, Ethan, and Phil, their wives
and children, all the blessed chaos of the extended Quinn
clan. Finally, he's back in the little blue-and-white house
where there's always a boat at the dock, a rocker on the
porch, and a dog in the yard.
Still, a lot has changed in St. Christopher since he's been
gone-and the most intriguing change of all is the presence
of Dru Whitcomb Banks. A city girl who's opened a florist
shop in this seaside town, she craves independence and the
challenge of establishing herself without the influence of
her wealthy connections. In Seth, she sees another kind of
challenge-a challenge that she can't resist.
But storms are brewing that are about to put their
relationship to the test. Dru's past has made her sensitive
to deception-and slow to trust. And Seth's past has made
him a target of blackmail-as a secret he's kept hidden for
years threatens to explode, destroying his new life and his
new love...
