Book #7 (ORIG 2010)
Start with 16 Lighthouse Road. There's drama at the beauty salon in Cedar Cove. Teri Miller has noticed that something seems to be worrying her international chess-champion husband, Bobby Polgar. He told her he's "protecting his queen," and she has the oddest feeling that he isn't talking about chess but about her. Rachel Pendergast has two men seriously interested in her, and she's going to have to make a choice. On the other hand, Linnette McAfee recently left town because her love life fell apart. Still, Cedar Cove has a way of helping everybody out. That's just how it is in this warmhearted small town.
