Young Dinah’s dream of ever leaving her small Southwest Florida town before and during the land boom of the twenties seems doomed when she finds herself pregnant by an unscrupulous, older man. Zach also has a dream. He wants to be his own man, go his own way. But when tragedy strikes Dinah’s family, his soft heart won’t allow him to walk away.
When Tyler, an ambitious land developer, offers to buy Dinah’s riverfront property, her dream is revived. Although Zach abhors the selling of paradise for a quick buck and tries to change her mind, his main fear is losing Dinah. Tyler ups the ante by proposing, and Dinah is forced to choose between a man who can make her dream come true, or a man who’s been there for every joy, every sorrow in her life. She foolishly chooses the dream.
Years later, the stock market is soaring, Tyler’s the wealthiest man in the county, and Dinah’s had it up to her jewelled earlobes with the grand life. When the two men who love her decide to enter local politics, she has another choice to make. Will she choose the candidate who wants to further develop the sun-kissed coast, or jeopardize her marriage by supporting the one who wants to preserve it for future generations? Dinah chooses to support Zach, and the race is on.
After reading women’s fiction for many years, Joyce knew she wanted to create stories of her own. As the mother of four grown daughters, she’s familiar with the problems women face finding love, raising children, and stepping back when necessary. All of her books center on family dynamics with a touching love story threaded through each. She is happiest when she’s secluded in her office creating new worlds and people to populate them. One of her books, Serendipity House, was named best indie romance of 2011 by Lynn of Red Adept Reviews. When she’s not taxing her brain with plot, structure, and grammar, she likes to sew, particularly quilts. When she really wants to rest her brain, she sprawls out in front of the TV and tries to stay awake. Please visit her website, http://www.joycedebacco.com for information about her other books.
