The Chesapeake Bay Saga by Nora Roberts follows the Quinn brothers in a small Maryland town on the Chesapeake Bay. This expanded listing includes The Quinns’ Christmas, a holiday novella that sits between Inner Harbor and Chesapeake Blue. The four main novels each focus on a different Quinn brother as he returns to St. Christopher, falls in love, and helps fight for custody of young Seth, the newest addition to the family.

Roberts pairs the romance with a strong sense of place, filling the books with details about crab boats, waterfront life, and the tight-knit rhythms of a small coastal community. The brothers’ relationships with each other and their adoptive family give the saga an emotional backbone that runs through every installment.
