Island Pearl — Sandra E. Sinclair

A Life of Despair, Dreams, and Hope.

Pearl Mazanec had a tragic beginning, a life filled with disappointment and self doubt. Everyone she cared about taken from her, thrusting her into instant parenthood when she'd only just started her adult life. The man of her dreams lost, having to take a backseat to the responsibilities she's faced with.

Pearl always suspected fate had a hand in the cards she was dealt, and she played them anyway. But she hadn't realized how twisted, and cruel fate could be. Even though she'd experienced it first hand on her entry into the world.

Death, stole her chance at love, and it's through death -- and six degrees of separation that brings the man of Pearl's dreams back into her life. Only to drive home how impossible her love was. The gap between their class, status, and power was designed to keep them apart.

It seems Pearl was destined to never receive her happy ending
