Since I don't know the specific 'chesapeake novel', I can't say for sure. But they could be fishermen, local families, or maybe environmentalists if the novel has an environmental focus.

The main characters include a young couple, Mark and Lisa. Mark is a boat builder, and Lisa is an artist. They are new to the Chesapeake area. Their different backgrounds and dreams create interesting storylines as they try to fit into the community. There is also a local mayor, Mr. Brown, who is in charge of making decisions for the town and often has to balance the needs of the people with the environmental concerns of the Chesapeake region.
Typically in Chesapeake Shores novels, there are characters from the O'Brien family. So in the new novel, it's likely that some members of the O'Brien family will be main characters.
