âPublishers Weekly on The Inn at Eagle Point
Dear Friends,
Ever since Jess OâBrien first appeared in The Inn at Eagle Point, youâve been asking me to tell the story of this complicated woman. Here it is at last in Moonlight Cove.
As a woman who has struggled since early childhood against the feelings of abandonment caused when her mother, Megan, walked out on the family, as well as with her long-undiagnosed attention deficit disorder, Jess has had a tough time getting her life together. Now, at long last, she has a career she loves as the owner of the Inn at Eagle Point, but so far love has eluded her.
No longer. Will Lincoln has been in love with Jess most of their lives. As a psychologist, he understands her flaws better than most and loves her unconditionally despite them. But itâs the fact that he understands her so well that scares Jess. She fears he views her only as some sort of psychological case study.
Itâs going to take a lot for Will to convince Jess that heâs the man of her dreams, and on a romantic night at Moonlight Cove, he finally does just that. I hope the moment will make you sigh, just as it took Jessâs breath away.
And next month, I hope youâll be eagerly awaiting Susie and Mackâs story in Beach Lane. This romance has been a very long time coming, but I think this touching story of the healing power of love is well worth the wait. I hope youâll agree.
All the best,
Sherryl

Discussion Guide
âWe have an idea,â Laila Riley announced when she and Connie Collins turned up in Jess OâBrienâs office at The Inn at Eagle Point on a Saturday night.
There was a twinkle in her eye that immediately made Jess nervous about what her friends had in mind. âIs it going to get us arrested?â she inquired suspiciously. Not that she was unwilling to take the risk, but she would like to know about the possibility in advance, calculate the odds and have a backup plan.
Laila grinned. âIf there were anyone interesting working for the sheriffâs department, weâd consider it, but no. This is just doing something outside the box, something none of us would ever consider unless we all decided to do it together.â
âDo I dare ask?â Jess wondered.
âOnline dating,â Connie revealed. The lack of enthusiasm in her voice suggested that this had been Lailaâs idea and that Connie had only agreed because of the same boredom that had been affecting Jessâs mood recently.
Jess, however, wasnât quite that desperate. âYou canât be serious.â
âOh, but we are,â Laila confirmed.
Jess studied the two women whoâd invaded her office on a night of the week when most attractive, intelligent women should have been out on dates. Connie and Laila were related to her indirectly by the marriages of their siblings to hers. They were friends by choice despite the differences in their ages.
Connie was the forty-one-year-old single mother of a teen whoâd recently left for college. Her younger brother, Jake, was married to Jessâs sister, Bree. Laila was the thirty-six-year-old manager of the local bank and younger sister of Trace, who was married to Abby, Jessâs oldest sister. Jess, at thirty, was the youngest. At times it seemed as if everyone in Chesapeake Shores was related to an OâBrien one way or another.
âOkay, now, letâs think about this,â Laila said, making herself at home by pouring a glass of tea from the ever-present pitcher on Jessâs desk. âWhat are you doing tonight? I mean, seriously, here you are in your office when you should be out on the town, right?â
