Letting Go: Book One Of The Maryland Shores

In the fall of 2002, the DC sniper caused nerves to fray around the beltway and throughout Maryland. Maren Mitchell had buried her husband in 2001 causing her to worry then, let alone now...about everything. When Dr. Steve Kramer cures Maren's ailing young son, he has a sense that he needs to heal her, too.Steve is nothing like she's used to-so self-assured, unflappable, but also walled off. Maren remains a skeptical onlooker to his life and death hospital days, now hers in a new job. No sooner does she unwind aboard Steve's sleek boat on the calming Chesapeake Bay, but Maren quivers again. First as his impassioned first mate but also with newfound concerns that Steve Kramer's past has hurt him irreparably. With uncertain steps, Maren tries to let go of her anxieties tangling with their differences and their chemistry between the sheets. Known as a sexy, charming Chesapeake love story, LETTING GO: BOOK ONE of THE MARYLAND SHORES has the contemporary hallmarks of women's fiction, a family focus that makes it real, and just the sizzle you want to make their relationship spark.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, compelling characters. Reader Praise: "The story 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!" "Bring back Steve! I loved him." "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!" "I loved how the author wove in the Baltimore Ravens/Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry!" "Well-developed, authentic characters come to life in the novel LETTING GO: BOOK ONE of THE MARYLAND SHORES.
