The Chesapeake series gathers four of Loree Lough’s inspirational romances set in the Chesapeake Bay area. “Follow the Leader” (1995), “Priscilla Hires A Husband” (1996), “Emma’s Orphans” (1997), and “Lone Wolf” (2013) share a regional setting while telling independent love stories.

The long gap between the first three books and the fourth reflects how Lough returned to this setting after years of working on other series. The Chesapeake Bay provides an atmospheric backdrop for stories about community, faith, and the connections between people in a shared place.
