SUNRISE IN MAGNOLIA BLOOM is the third prequel novella in the Magnolia Bloom series.

Welcome to Magnolia Bloom, where hearts heal and magic happens... in a castle... in East Texas

Dara and Lexi -- two women separated by time – are both drawn into the magical MacInnes family. Both believe true love is out of their reach… but what if they’re wrong?

1890 –

Dara Doyle will do anything to protect her baby. Sold to a bordello as a young girl, she’s escaped that life, and she’ll protect her precious Orla with her last breath. When a relative schemes to strip Orla from Dara’s very arms, she learns just how fiercely she’ll fight. Even if it means as the wife—in name only—of Bruce MacInnes. Even if it means leaving everything she knows to go to America and the tiny Texas town of Magnolia Bloom.

Now –

Lexi Stewart is a descendant of Alyssa MacInnes, one of the powerhouse women who created the MacInnes legacy. Lexi is lost. A young widow…well, young in her own eyes…Lexi's coming to terms with the fact that true passion was never in her cards—and certainly isn’t in her future. She’s equally sure she has nothing in common with Alyssa, her impressive ancestor, or Dara Doyle, the Irish spitfire who captured the oldest MacInnes son’s heart a century ago. Still, it’s a lovely story, one she’d love to live herself, but it’s a tale meant only for dreams.
