Safe Harbor / A Cold Creek Homecoming
WHO DEFINES FAMILY?
To Tina Harrington, the definition was anyone she loved was a part of her family. Including all the people--and animals--she'd invited into her home when they'd had nowhere else to go. She was their safe harbor, and they were hers. And she would protect them from whoever challenged their right to be a family--namely her new neighbor, the handsome and high-powered Drew Landry.
Drew was determined to ensure that Tina wasn't taking advantage of her vulnerable houseguests. But as soon as he met Tina and her unconventional family, he realized he'd made a big mistake. Because he was drawn to her like a ship to a sheltered shore. And he'd set in motion a series of events that could destroy everything she held dear....

A Cold Creek Homecoming by New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne
Quinn Southerland still hadn't forgiven Tess Claybourne for the way she'd treated him years ago. But the woman tending his ailing mother was not the same girl he'd known. Could this be their second chance?

About the author
Sherryl Woods
556 books4,530 followersWith two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.
"The friends are the only things I've brought with me through the years that really matter," she says. "I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends."
The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.
Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.
A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.
Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.
In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.
When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.

Actually liked the "bonus story" a little better. Could tell this was one of Sherryl Wood's early ones.

Delightful
From the first page, I cou!d not stop reading. The sadness of the pending loss of such a wonderful woman. The lives of the characters so well described left me wanting to know their stories after Jo',s death. What is in the future of the other three of the Four Winds?

Love story, fun/light reading

A predictable romance - a little too harlequinesque for me.

This is actually a book containing two stories - Safe Harbor by Sherryl Woods and A Cold Creek Homecoming by RaeAnne Thayne. Safe Harbor is a really cute story of a lonely, wealthy woman and the family she has collected and her new neighbor who is shaking things up. I loved the characters and the storyline. A Cold Creek Homecoming is a touching story of a man who returns home because the women who had a major hand in raising him is dying. He is stunned when he finds he knows (and was involved) the hospice nurse. Will the two get back together? You'll have to read the story to find out.

Safe Harbor
Two great books in one. I really enjoyed both books. If you like romance both of these books have it along with some depth in the characters.
