Under summer skies, New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods evokes family, friendship and heartfelt emotion
With her two younger sisters heading for the altar, will Samantha Castle exchange old dreams for new ones? Lately she’d rather be on the North Carolina coast with family than in New York with agents and actors. Though she vows not to let her teenage crush on Ethan Cole influence her decision, it’s hard to ignore her feelings for the local war hero.
Ethan lost more than his leg in Afghanistan. He lost his belief in love. Even being surrounded by couples intent on capturing happily-ever-after won’t open this jaded doctor’s heart. It’s going to take a sexy, determined woman—one who won’t take no for an answer.

Sea Glass Island
Sherryl Woods
Dear Friends,
Most of us have come to accept that dreams change as we go through life. Sometimes this is the product of maturity and new life experiences. Sometimes we’re simply forced to accept a harsh new reality.
That’s the case with both Samantha Castle and Ethan Cole in Sea Glass Island. But while Ethan has embraced his new life running a small emergency clinic on the North Carolina coast, Samantha is still struggling to find a new focus for her future. She knows only that the acting career she once dreamed of is no longer as successful or fulfilling as she’d hoped. As readers have come to know, Sand Castle Bay is the perfect place to reevaluate goals and ambitions. And thanks to a little nudge from their grandmother, it’s also been the ideal place for the Castle sisters to find love.
I hope you’ll enjoy this final installment of the Ocean Breeze trilogy and that Samantha’s story will remind you that there’s often a new—and unexpected—dream right around the corner, if only you open your heart to the possibilities.
All best,
Sherryl Woods
