To Those Who Dare

THEY WERE SOCIETY'S DARLINGS

Ther were born to marry for wealth and position, rear respectful children and take tea with the elite. But they chose love instead of prestige, principles instead of pride. In a growing town on Erie Canal, they dared to follow their dreams.

GENEVA BURTON, the book-loving, dark-eyed daughter of Athens' top lawyer, was expected to marry her best friend's brother, but there was a penniless young doctor who would not be denied.

ROXANNE FIELDING, the flame-haired daughter of a shipping lord, was unafraid of strong language or scandal. She would marry the man she adored - but now must win his troubled heart.

ADELAIDE LIVINGSTON was only sixteen when her father first deceived her - then forced her into a disastrous marriage. The golden, delicate beauty would shock and shame her peers - before she could start her long journey back to love.
