MaryLu Tyndall’s latest romantic
tale, Forsaken Dreams (Barbour
Books), is the first in her Escape
to Paradise Trilogy, set aboard
a ship bound for Brazil with
all the danger, adventure and
high-seas drama for which she
is known. Romance awaits Col.
Grant Wallace and the widowed
Eliza Crawford, but MaryLu
keeps things fresh with a unique
twist. “Can you imagine falling
in love with someone whom
you discover might be responsible
for the deaths of your loved
ones?” she asks. “That’s the situation
my hero and heroine find
themselves in aboard a ship
heading from Charleston to
Brazil, where they hope to create
a new Southern Utopia after
the ravages of the American
Civil War destroyed not only
their homes and their families,
but their dreams, as well.”
