Laura Drewry

Laura Drewry writes contemporary romance with working settings, family obligations, and second chances shaping the central relationships. Off the Hook, published in 2016, opens her three-book Fishing for Trouble sequence. The story returns former major-league pitcher Liam O’Donnell to the Buoys, the West Coast fishing lodge he shares with his brothers. Kate Hadley, the woman he left behind, is now closely connected to the business and its community. Their renewed contact places old choices beside present responsibilities, while the lodge gives the novel a practical setting beyond the romance. Drewry builds the wider sequence around the O’Donnell brothers, with Lured In and Catch and Release continuing at the Buoys after the opening volume. Off the Hook therefore establishes both the family structure and the coastal workplace that link the later books. Its combination of sport, fishing culture, and unfinished history gives the first installment a distinct role within Drewry’s connected contemporary fiction.
