From Prying Eyes: A Phoebe Braddock Romance - Paperback

by L. Starla (Author)

To heaven, it's a sin. To her family, it's a betrayal. To her, this love is the only truth.

Sophie is living a double life. By day, she is the perfect daughter of a devout family, navigating the sacred halls of her church and the expectations of a long-term crush. By night, she is haunted by a faceless lover in her dreams-a man whose touch feels more real, and more right, than anything in her waking world.

Then her dreams become reality.

At her debutante ball, the mystery takes a physical form. Swept into a blissful, masked dance, Sophie finally finds the connection she's been craving. But when the masks are removed, the sanctuary of the ballroom is shattered. Her enigmatic lover is no stranger. He is the one man her family, her faith, and her very blood forbid her from touching.

Sophie must decide: deny her deepest desires to keep her place in the pews, or pursue a love that carries a ruinous price-one that could shatter her family's legacy and cost them their freedom.
