Letting Go: The Maryland Shores

Maren Mitcell grieves a husband and lingering 9/11 fears, feeling frazzled, frayed until Steve Kramer heals her son...maybe her. He corners her curiosity with his compassion, sailing graces, and hot distraction. What are a few, tiny, calculated risks? He's nothing like she's used to, making her quiver all right, as his impassioned first mate on his well-appointed, sleek boat. Only soon, Maren is a skeptical observer to this man who thrives on intensity with life and death days, keeping everything bottled up. This could not possibly work! Will a left-brained, logical man and a creative, cautious woman get tangled in their differences and past hurts...or surrender what they must to live fuller lives and forge a future together? Add in the region's sniper terror and her own personal panic that could undo all of the progress Maren has made. Known as a sexy, charming Chesapeake love story, Letting Go has the contemporary hallmarks of women's fiction and just the sizzle you want for the characters' romance. This edition contains special previews of the five-star rated SECOND CHANCES: BOOK TWO of THE MARYLAND SHORES, weaving threads of the existing story line into two new contemporary and compelling characters. Reader Praise: "I couldn't put LETTING GO down. The characters are realistic and the depiction of the Chesapeake and the historical events right on target. I found how the main character overcame internal struggles was very uplifting. A great read!" "A thorough plot spanning nearly 300 pages in paperback. The author develops her characters with details that make us get to know and love them. For the eBook version, the price can't be beat." "I loved how the author wove in the Baltimore Ravens/Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry!" "If you're in your 30s to your 90s, you'll devour this sweet love story and feel a part of these families." "The story line captivated me so much that I wanted to stay immersed in Maren, Steve and the Chesapeake Bay and was actually sorry to see it end. I loved the Pittsburgh and Disney references as well as the medical/hospital drama. It's full of real human emotion that women especially will recognize. Looking forward to BOOK TWO!" "Well-developed, authentic characters come to life in the novel LETTING GO: BOOK ONE of THE MARYLAND SHORES. Nautical imagery, football rivalries, and a very real picture of parenthood-plus some sexy moments-make it a page-turner." "Bring back Steve! I loved him." 9780991282210 0991282213 316 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=jmxyngEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
