Single mum Heather Donovan's dreams of home and family are tantalisingly within reach when she settles in Chesapeake Shores. The welcoming arms of the boisterous, loving O'Brien clan embrace her and her son. But accepting their support seems to further alienate her son's father, Connor O'Brien. His parents' divorce and his career as a high–powered divorce attorney have left him jaded about marriage.
Then everything changes. Will the possibility of a future without Heather make Connor look at love and his career differently? Heather's just about given up on her old dreams of love, family and especially of Driftwood Cottage –– the home she secretly wishes was hers. It's going to take a lot of persuasion –– and some help from the O'Brien family –– to make Heather believe that some dreams are worth fighting for.
