About this ebook

Lorenz Arpetta's life seemed perfect. A prominent attorney, married to a beautiful girl from the well known Ousterhause family, his advantaged life stood a far cry from his childhood as impoverished living on the streets of Italy. Who knew the years would turn to hiding secrets of a family name? Married and widowed at a young age wasn't Jane's idea of success though her life held that path. Assuming responsibility of service, she tucked disappointment of lost dreams behind. Who knew her feelings for Lorenz would flare to such unrequited heights? With confidentialities of the Ousterhause name kept, Lorenz vows to honor his pledge regardless of consequence. With Jane's admirable promise, the reputation of Arpetta Manor remains intact. As Lorenz and Jane struggle with restriction, will they find that admiration and strength are enough to survive tragedy and bring a love alive?

About the author

After a short stint at life in big cities, my husband and I purchased my Great-Grandfather's house and moved to Brainard, Nebraska where I grew up. I've been a cook most of my life, have four kids, three grandkids, two dogs, and two cats. I have always loved writing though I didn't seriously enjoy my craft until my kids got older. It was then that I traded my diaper changing, late night feeding time for my writing time and I've been writing ever since! I enjoy historical and contemporary romance and also write humorous essays about life. 'Sally Murphy' is my first published novel, a historical romance set in turn of the century, small town, Nebraska. Visit Annette Snyder's website here.
