Even the hopeless may find love…

Jenny’s life has always been hard. She grew up with an abusive father and saw her mother killed. She wants to free herself from that squalid life but her compassion has mired her deeper. Jenny guaranteed payment to a sleazy pimp for her young friend, that became indebted to him, but if she doesn’t pay up soon she becomes his property and must work for him. It is no wonder then that when a well dressed older gentleman offers her an opportunity to make enough money to pay the debt; Jenny agrees to do his bidding.

Daniel Frost was deeply scared in a car accident when he was a teenager. The same accident caused his father’s and brother’s death and Daniel feels an overwhelming guilt which his own mother reinforced by blaming him for the accident. Daniel has hidden himself away from others on an isolated island where he custom makes wooden toys. Daniel’s grandfather has long tried to help him without success. But with Christmas soon approaching; Daniel needs an assistant to complete his work orders and this is the perfect opportunity for his grandfather. He secretly hires Jenny to help Daniel, not only with the toys but to give him reason to live among people again.

Daniel and Jenny slowly start trusting each other. Their mutual attraction brightens and gives meaning to life. However, Jenny is hiding secrets from Daniel and that hard won trust is hanging by a thread. Her absence has been noted by the pimp and he is tracking her down, promising retribution on both Jenny and Daniel. Is there any hope?

Ms. Hope wrings every expectation from her characters, Jenny and Daniel, leaving them desperate and wanting, only to have them find each other and magically revitalize their lives and dreams and then teeter on the brink of losing everything again. Emotionally charged and hauntingly passionate; WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE will touch your heart. Be sure to keep an eye on rising star Anne Hope, who just may become a favorite author.
