PRAISE FOR THE SHELTER BAY NOVELS
Moonshell Beach
“Ms. Ross writes a story that wraps around your heart and ensnares you. . . . She is a master storyteller.”

[She] satisfyingly fleshes out their mating dance with secondary characters familiar from her earlier books and tantalizing glimpses of stories to be told in future installments.”
