Emerald Isle, North Carolina, holds a special place in Kirby's heart. It was here, on this charming island, that Kirby first met the love of her life, Sam Fontaine. When Kirby thinks of the island, she thinks of first love, friendship, and family. In this sequel to Thomas P. Gill's The Bridge, Emerald Isle welcomes Kirby back after a devastating tragedy. Sam, now a Marine pilot, is killed in a test flight gone horribly wrong. Kirby always thought of herself as Sam's "wingman," but now she'll have to soar on her own. She has a teenage son to support, and life can't stop for her grief. Back on the island, Kirby meets two new men who work on breaking her out of her depression. ABS is a young handyman with an irresistible southern drawl. Crutch is a handsome pilot who used to fly with Sam as a marine. Each man offers Kirby something different, and she isn't sure what she wants. At the same time, Kirby's son, Journey, volunteers to monitor turtle nests. His new hobby, however, could lead to unexpected danger. Kirby will have to stand strong during a major catastrophe that could tear her family apart once again.

Randy's Way is a must read for anyone interested in studying the lives of real-life heroes and heroines and learning how they earned their titles. The book tells the story of a dynamic, "high potential" Marine Corps officer who selflessly exchanged his quality of life for a role in the Gulf War and who, in so doing, began to cultivate a closer, hand-in-hand walk with God. Kim, Randy's wife of three years at the time, never wavered in her devotion to Randy, even when given the devastating news that her gifted and athletic husband had contracted ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) as a result of the Gulf War's toxic cocktail. The epic account of events leading up to that life-altering moment and the twenty-five years that followed gives new meaning to the phrase, "courage under fire." Enjoy this inspiring example of how to keep ones faith strong while being faithful and resilient as a husband and father, in spite of overwhelming challenges. Set in the quaint resort town of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, this true story illustrates how people can overcome any challenge through faith in God. Chocked full of humorous and serious anecdotes covering nearly fifty years, readers will be inspired by how the residents of this small town on the southern Outer Banks band together to ensure Randy, Kim, Nicole and Kyle are included in all aspects of the island community. Randy's Way is a tribute to the heroic lives the entire Hebert family have lived since coming face-to-face with this debilitating disease nearly twenty-five years ago.

On the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, in the small town of Emerald Isle... Juli Cooke, hard-working and getting nowhere fast, marries a dying man, Ben Bradshaw, for a financial settlement, not expecting he will set her on a journey of hope and love. The journey brings her to Luke Winters, a local art dealer, but Luke resents the woman who married his sick friend and warns her not to hurt Ben-and he's watching to make sure she doesn't. Until Ben dies and the stakes change. Framed by the timelessness of the Atlantic Ocean and the brilliant blue of the beach sky, Juli struggles against her past, the opposition of Ben's and Luke's families, and even the living reminder of her marriage-to build a future with hope and perhaps to find the love of her life-if she can survive the danger from her past.
