Merry was from a high society family and just didn't fit in. She also had made a name for herself as an author of woman's novels, that were full of hot steamy sex. A horribly failed engagement, as well as her family not backing her in her time of need, made Merry leave the Boston area, and move to the Pretty Marsh, Maine area to live in peace and hopefully with out the high drama her family could bring. Meeting tow women that were introduced in the first two installments of the Pretty Marsh Trilogy, Bryn and Brie, along with their husbands and friends, bring Merry into a family all her own. And, along the way, she finds love in a man named Jack. It wasn't in the plan, but a nice way to go.
