“I can’t imagine him being anywhere else.”
“What a nice ending,” she said with a soft smile. “Although I adore your writing, darling, I have to admit that stories with happy endings are my second favorite kind.”
“So what’s your first favorite?”
Tess laughed as she twined her arms around his neck. “Ones with happy beginnings.”

Escape to paradise on Orchid Island, the sun-drenched jewel of the Pacific, where the air is scented with flowers, warm translucent waters kiss shimmering sugar sand beaches, and quaint towns harkening back to the island’s past are scattered about an unspoiled, lush green landscape.
From its soaring mountain peaks to its turquoise lagoons, Orchid Island wraps visitors in its warm embrace and offers endless opportunities for romance to bloom.

When
New York Times
bestselling author JoAnn Ross was seven years old, she had no doubt whatsoever that she’d grow up to play center field for the New York Yankees. Writing would be her backup occupation, something she planned to do after retiring from baseball. Those were, in her mind, her only options. While waiting for the Yankees management to call, she wrote her first novella—a tragic romance about two star-crossed mallard ducks—for a second grade writing assignment.
The paper earned a gold star. And JoAnn kept writing.
She’s now written around one hundred novels (she quit keeping track long ago), has been published in twenty-six countries, and is a member of the Romance Writers of America’s Honor Roll of best-selling authors. Two of her titles have been excerpted in
Cosmopolitan
magazine and her books have also been published by the
Doubleday
,
Rhapsody
,
Literary Guild
, and
Mystery Guild
book clubs. Although the Yankees have yet to call her to New York to platoon center field, JoAnn figures making one out of two life goals isn’t bad.
Currently writing her Shelter Bay series (set on the Oregon Coast, where her high school sweetheart husband proposed), her River’s Bend series (set in Southern Oregon ranching country, where she grew up), her multi-award winning Irish Castlelough series, and her tropical Orchid Island series, JoAnn lives with her husband and two fuzzy rescued dogs, who pretty much rule the house, in the Pacific Northwest.
