The Women of Bayberry Cove

by Cynthia Thomason

Published 24 September 2004

Louise Duncan has been passed over for a promotion because - according to her boss - she's too intimidating. A useful quality in court, he admits, but she scares her own clients. "Take some time off to work on your people skills" is his advice.

Louise heads for Bayberry Cove, North Carolina, and a visit with her best friend. Just as she begins to relax - thanks in part to the intriguing Navy commander who's living in the cottage she wants to rent - she meets a group of women who need her legal expertise and her take-no-prisoners attitude. So Attorney Louise Duncan gets ready to fight for justice.

Unfortunately, the commander is on the opposing team. And he's about to see a different side of Louise.

"Hogan. Jack Hogan."

The cocky ex-Secret Service agent is determined to point out the security risks in this eccentric little beach town. Mayor Claire Betancourt's town.

Claire is just as determined to protect Heron Point and its free-spirited citizens-however quirky they may be-from his interference. No way are Jack's take-charge attitude and dangerous good looks going to sway her.

But Claire gets a shocking reality check when her nine-year-old daughter is kidnapped and Jack is the only one who can save her. And he's surprised to discover that what started out as just a job has suddenly become very personal.
