The Chesapeake Bay Saga begins when the three Quinn brothers, each adopted out of difficult childhoods, return to St. Christopher, Maryland, after their father’s sudden death. They must honor his last wish by caring for Seth, a young boy with a troubled past, while building a boatbuilding business together on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.

Sea Swept, Rising Tides, Inner Harbor, and Chesapeake Blue each follow one of the brothers (and eventually Seth himself) as they find love and put down roots. The series is one of Roberts’ most popular, blending family loyalty, small-town life, and romance against a vividly drawn waterfront setting.
