Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding
school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls make a blood sister pact. Friends
forever. As young schoolgirls, they're determined to find true love, learning
the hits and misses along the way. As graduation nears, the girls have
different outlooks for the future. Lucinda longs for adventure. Anna chooses
city life and marriage. Finding their way back together, the girls head west
for an experience of a lifetime until a handsome cowboy bursts into their
lives, changing the course of their friendship forever.
* NOTE: Broken Dreams is a part of the WAITING FOR
DUSK book series but can be read independently from the rest of the series.
EXCERPT
Anna tentatively put the other foot on the ice. “I’m doing it!” She grinned widely for a second until her body slipped out from under her.“Anna!” Lucinda grabbed for her, but it was too late. Anna lay a few feet away from the boy who still struggled to get on his feet. “Come on.” Lucinda seized Anna by one arm and the boy by the other and marched them to a bench. “Watch and learn.” She daintily walked away on her skates and slipped slowly back onto the ice. She caught up with her sister. Arm in arm they disappeared into the crowd.“Hello, I don’t think we formally met.” The young man stuck out his hand. “James Trent.”“Anna. Anna Douglass.” She shook his gloved hand. He had a nice smile, auburn hair and golden brown eyes. A few freckles were sprinkled across his nose.James smoothed his hair back and replaced the cap he probably lost during the fall. “I’m a sophomore over at Lake Forest.”
“This is my first year at Ferry.” Anna gazed down at the snowy ground, suddenly nervous.“First time on skates?” He laughed and snorted at the same time.Anna relaxed and looked him in the eye. She saw a faint redness creep up his neck and knew he was embarrassed. “You couldn’t tell?” She giggled, hoping he noticed she forgave the snort.“Well, I’m not giving up. I hope you won’t either. What I mean is I hope I see you here again.”
