Something Borrowed

by Sheryl Hames Torres

Rain Marcus’s idyllic life growing up in the tiny mountain village of Moonlight Cove didn’t last into adulthood. She returns from college with dreams of designing and making couture wedding gowns for the rest of her life, but fate has the habit of twisting dreams into thin versions of themselves, and now, fifteen years later, every day is a rerun of the day before.

When MacMillan Sinclair Montrose IV’s parents die, he swears nothing will ever be beyond his control again. He becomes parent to his baby sister, graduates from college and takes control of his father’s company. There is no way he’ll let his sister’s wedding fall apart. Rain and her friends step in and pull off the perfect wedding.

Along the way, Mac loses control of his heart to Rain, but how can he convince her to trust him to stay when everyone she’s ever loved left her?

About the author

Sheryl Hames Torres started making up stories as a girl to keep her five younger siblings entertained. She started writing them down to keep the voices in her head from having her committed. Vibrant settings and dashing heroes soon turned into real life when her family moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where she met and married her very own Prince Charming. He taught her that sometimes reality is the fairy tale. Now, after more than thirty years, she and Mark have reared one daughter--an artist and writer--and a son--a musician, mechanic and an automotive "restorer". With a house filled with love and laughter, music and beautiful creations, lots of shedding fur from a ferociously friendly dog and a temperamental cat who thinks HE rules the roost, Sher lives out her fairy tale every day. The Torres’ make their home in Northeast Georgia within a forty-five minutes of her parents and three of those five siblings, where Sher divides her time between her family and friends, writing, restoring antique needlework.

And, of course, a lot of daydreaming…

[Pamela · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really lovely romantic story with a great cast of characters. Not only the main characters, but each and every person living in the town where the story is set comes to life. Not only is the ending fulfilling, but I left with a deep desire to find and live in this place. A great beginning to what promises to be a fun and satisfying series.
