Sherryl Woods

Widowed Jessie Adams was about to give birth, and she needed help–fast! Unfortunately, the closest ranch in the small Texas town belonged to her brother–in–law, Luke, who didn't know a thing about delivering babies.

And though this charismatic rancher was her only hope, he was the last person Jessie wanted to be stranded with...

Zelda Lane...her very name made the local gossips raise their eyebrows. She'd scandalized an entire town and filled upright Taylor Matthews with enough young love to burst all bounds of propriety. But that was long ago. Now a pillar of the community, Taylor privately rued the day he'd let Zelda go – but not as much as he dreaded her return! Because Zelda was back – as beautiful and bold as ever. She was carrying a torch – as well as a grudge. And from the tips of his polished shoes to the top of his starched collar, Taylor knew he'd never quite gotten her out of his system...

Revisit the Wilde sisters as they fall in love with the men of their dreams and walk down the bridal path in this classic series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods.

Sara

When Sara Wilde's father sold the family ranch to rodeo rogue Jake Dawson, she was fit to be tied! Now Sara had to get ThreeStars back – whatever the cost. So she challenged Jake to a bucking bronco contest. If she lost, she agreed to be his bride…and Jake knows Sara doesn't stand a chance at winning their wager!

Ashley

Dillon Ford was wild, sexy, too hot to handle – the guy all the girls in school whispered about …and secretly longed for. Now, all grown up, this rogue was even more intriguing to prim and proper Ashley Wilde. Did she dare to tame Dillon Ford and make him hers for keeps?

Danielle

When handsome single dad Slade Watkins came to town, all Riverton wagered that a wedding was in the offing. The hapless widower hadn't a clue about taming his two rambunctious sons – until pretty Danielle Wilde took the motherless mischiefmakers under her wing.

As the only child of a single mom, Jenny Collins wanted nothing more than to be part of a large, rambunctious family like the O'Briens. Ironically, though, when her mother married into that family, Jenny found herself feeling more like an outsider than ever.

Now, after years in Nashville as an established songwriter, Jenny's drawn back to Chesapeake Shores to collaborate on a Christmas production…and to make peace with the past. As if that's not challenging enough, Caleb Green, the singer who broke her heart, has followed her to town, determined to win her back.

With the help of a little O'Brien holiday magic, will Jenny and Caleb find a way to make sweet music forever?

Dana Sue might run the best little restaurant in Serenity, but when you're feeding a small town of neighbours, busybodies and best friends, things can get a bit hot in the kitchen. Never mind that she's putting on too many pounds – she's worried about her skinny teenage daughter, Annie, who has been slowly starving herself since the loud, suitcase–tossing, name–calling fit on her front lawn that left Dana minus one cheating husband. But sometimes life picks strange ways to mend fences. When Annie lands in hospital, Dana reaches out to the man she loves to hate: Ron, the husband who took her heart when she tossed him out. Ron is still Annie's white knight, even if he's decidedly more tarnished in Dana's eyes. But he still looks good enough to eat, and maybe, just maybe, good enough to forgive.

Part memoir, part oral history, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods gives us a rare and intimate look at Colonial Beach, Virginia. 

Rich in narrative history and local color, A Small Town Love Story: Colonial Beach, Virginia is an homage to the town of Sherryl Woods's past summers, a place that stole her heart long ago and provided the basis for the many fictional small towns in her bestselling novels. 

True to Woods's signature style of focusing on characters who are at the center of their communities, here she has woven together the stories of the very real people who helped shaped this seaside Virginia town. She brings us back to the days of her own family dinners – relatives of all ages crowded onto benches around a long, banquet–length table, windows open to the hot breeze as they cracked open piles of Maryland blue crabs. She artfully captures the essence of Colonial Beach and makes us yearn for small–town life. 

Woods's own memories frame the dozens of other true stories she features – from the unique history of Colonial Beach itself, to some firsthand accounts of the Oyster Wars that once consumed the fishing community, to the stories of neighbourhood merchants who made it a point to know just about every customer by name. In its early days, even a town as small as Colonial Beach had family–owned grocery stores in just about every neighborhood, each with its own personality – stores like Denson's and Sullivan's and Ethyl's Emporium. From farmers and fishermen to restauranteurs and hoteliers to pastors, librarians and military folk, Woods's research and interviews give life to the personalities of a very special place.
