Dear Friends,
Welcome back to Sand Castle Bay! I hope you’re enjoying getting to know the whole Castle family and the men in their lives.
I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to Gabriella’s story’not because you’ve discovered you’re pregnant, have been fired and dumped all in the period of a few days, but because you’ve simply been through one of those times when life just seems to hit a downward spiral. Sometimes it’s not even the major crises that slam us all at once, but the steady drip, drip, drip of petty annoyances that start adding up to overwhelm us.
For Gabi, of course, it’s that huge trifecta of major life changes that sends her back to Sand Castle Bay and the loving arms of her family. And with so much on her plate, it’s little wonder that sexy, attentive Wade Johnson seems almost too good to be true. But Wade truly is one of the good guys. Not perfect, by any means, but caring, generous and steady as a rock.
I hope you’ll enjoy this latest installment in the Ocean Breeze series and will be anxious to return next month for Sea Glass Island to see if the sisters’ grandmother has found the perfect guy for Samantha. Come on! We’re talking about Cora Jane. Of course she has.
All best,
Sherryl Woods
