Jo Ann Brown's Sanctuary Bay

Sanctuary Bay, a narrow bay between steep cliffs on the northeastern English shore, has provided a haven for centuries. A grand manor house, Meriweather Hall, is set atop one cliff, and those who live in the village and the manor have always had their lives intertwined. In the days after peace has come to Europe with Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, hearts and faith will be challenged. In Sanctuary Bay, both will find a home.

She Must Marry for Duty

Sophia Meriweather will—if all goes as it should—marry the heir to her father's estate. If she's to secure her family's future, Sophia must put her would-be groom's best friend from her mind. But keeping the darkly handsome widower and his two young children out of her heart is proving nearly impossible. Charles Winthrop, Lord Northbridge, doesn't believe in love. Lovely Sophia may have charmed his normally silent children, but, for a man of honor and duty, she was a wife he dared not wish for. Yet nothing is as simple as it seems—especially when it comes to matters of the heart….

To Heal the Soldier's Heart

Jonathan Bradby would gladly return to fighting the French if it meant avoiding his new title: war hero. Only he knows the reputation isn't deserved. Then a visit to Sanctuary Bay brings renewed acquaintance with the lovely Lady Catherine Meriweather. He's drawn to her, yet Cat surely deserves a real hero.

Overwhelmed with organizing a Yuletide celebration and her sister's wedding, Cat gladly accepts Jonathan's help. Soon she sees the gentle heart he conceals beneath his wit. But Jonathan's need to prove himself could drive them apart—unless they're bold enough to seize the unexpected gift of love.

A Man Beyond Her Reach

Vera Fenwick is everything a vicar's sister should be—helpful, modest and sensible. She knows the perils of falling for a man above her station, but it does no harm to admire Edmund Herriott, Lord Meriweather—from afar. She's perfectly content to help him restore the local rectory…and she's much too reasonable to risk her heart.

Working alongside Vera to rebuild the church and foil a smuggling ring is restoring the confidence Edmund lost in battle.

Vera may be sure she's not suited to be an aristocrat's wife, but Edmund is utterly confident of one thing—that this unexpected love was built to last.
