How Silver Harbor Began
Melissa Foster, a New York Times bestselling author, crafted the Silver Harbor series as a spin-off from her Love in Bloom universe, specifically tied to The Steeles at Silver Island. Inspired by her love for interconnected family sagas and coastal settings, Foster envisioned Silver Island as a place where characters could heal and find love amidst life’s surprises. Launched in 2021, the series builds on Foster’s signature style: emotionally rich stories with strong heroines and swoon-worthy heroes, all rooted in a vibrant community.
The Heart of Silver Harbor
The Silver Harbor series kicks off with Maybe We Will, where chef Abby de Messiéres returns to Silver Island to settle her late mother’s affairs, only to uncover a half-sister, Cait, and a spark with workaholic Aiden Aldridge. Their deal to restore the family bistro ignites passion and tests their hearts. In Maybe We Should, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby grapples with her dark past while boatbuilder Brant Remington patiently woos her, offering healing love. Maybe We Won’t follows attorney Deirdra de Messiéres, whose plans to escape the island are complicated by the laid-back chef Jagger Jones and her own unresolved memories.
Themes of family, forgiveness, and self-discovery run deep, with each book exploring how the sisters rebuild their lives and bonds. Foster’s vivid Silver Island setting—complete with coffee shops, boat races, and moonlit rendezvous—adds a dreamy layer, while her steamy, heartfelt prose keeps readers hooked. The series’ focus on strong women overcoming personal challenges resonates, blending lighthearted banter with poignant moments of growth.
