'''Anna Spinelli''' is the social worker assigned to young [[Seth Quinn|Seth DeLauter]]'s case in Nora Roberts' ''Chesapeake Bay Saga'', and later the wife of [[Cameron Quinn]].

== Overview ==
Strong, smart, and quick-witted, Anna is the outside authority whose decision will determine whether Seth stays with the Quinn brothers — and the woman whose growing attraction to the most volatile of those brothers complicates her professional objectivity. Of Italian descent, she is dedicated to her work and, unlike the Quinns, has a deep, hard-won faith in the system she serves.

== Background ==
Anna's mother was attacked and murdered in front of her. She found her footing again only after rebelling against the system meant to protect her, with the support of her maternal grandparents — an experience that shapes both her empathy for at-risk children and her commitment to working within (rather than around) the system as an adult.

== Personality ==
Anna is dedicated and clear-eyed, keeping Seth's best interests squarely in focus even as she's drawn to Cam. She has black hair and dark brown eyes, and a temperament Roberts' fans have compared to the formidable matriarchs of her other family sagas — direct, unsentimental, and not easily pushed around.

== Story Arc ==
=== ''Sea Swept'' ===
Anna is assigned to determine Seth's fate after Ray Quinn's death, initially skeptical of three men with troubled pasts of their own raising a traumatized boy. As she observes the brothers — and falls for Cam — she comes to see them as exactly what Seth needs, and fights for their right to keep him.

=== ''Rising Tides'' & ''Inner Harbor'' ===
Now married to Cam, Anna appears as a settled, supportive presence in the Quinn household, helping nudge Ethan and Grace together and remaining a steady ally as the family navigates ongoing threats from Gloria DeLauter.

=== ''Chesapeake Blue'' ===
Nearly two decades later, Anna and Cam are raising two teenage sons, Kevin and Jake, and Anna appears as part of the extended Quinn family welcoming Seth home.

== Relationships ==
=== Cameron Quinn ===
Anna's professional involvement in Seth's case puts her in close, contentious contact with Cam, and their mutual attraction — unwelcome at first, given her role — develops into the central romance of ''Sea Swept''.

=== Seth Quinn ===
Anna's diligence on Seth's case is instrumental in securing his place with the Quinns, and she remains protective of him throughout the series.

== Physical Description ==
Anna has black hair and dark brown eyes.
