Echoes of Sunrise
The Beginning of a New Series
Three women's lives are forever changed by the year they spent together in Europe. Now back in the States, each one finds her life upended. Will the bonds these sisters of the heart formed be strong enough to overcome the challenges they face?
Sophia, Victoria, and Olivia couldn't be more different. Perhaps that's part of the reason they became friends while they were attending Mrs. Marshall's Academy for the Refinement of Young Ladies. During this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they became closer than many sisters, and when their year together ended, they promised that neither time nor distance would destroy their love for each other and that somehow, someway they would be together again.
But promises, they soon discover, are more easily made than kept.

Want to Know More?
A baby to protect. A town to save.
Is a marriage of convenience the only answer?
Sophia Carr knows her recurring dreams of an identical twin sister are just that - dreams. She also knows that eventually she will inherit the hotel her grandfather built. When a fire at the hotel kills her mother, Sophia returns to Carr Valley to rebuild and ensure that a planned railroad line chooses a route that will keep the town alive. But her grandfather's will states that she must be married to inherit, and the only man she can imagine marrying seems to have forgotten her.
Up-and-coming architect Gideon Spencer couldn't say no when his dying friend begged him to marry his widow and raise their baby as his own rather than let a cruel grandfather gain custody. But when the young mother dies, leaving Gideon a single parent, the grandfather poses a new threat unless Gideon manages to marry again. Sadly, the only woman he's interested in is the one he's ignored for six months: Sophia.
Knowing he needs to protect the baby, Gideon heads to Carr Valley. When he discovers that Sophia needs a husband as much as he needs a wife, he proposes a six-month marriage of convenience. Sophia agrees but adds a stipulation of her own, one that will test his resolve, even as their wedding day reveals that Sophia's dreams of a twin sister might be more than dreams.
As Sophia and Gideon join forces, the stakes couldn't be higher: a baby's life, a town's future, and love.
