Description
Set in Gilded Age Indiana, Counterfeit Hope follows Lu Thorne, a former prostitute trapped in a brutal criminal family, and Andrew Darlington, a Secret Service operative sent to dismantle their counterfeit operations. A stolen wallet sparks a dangerous dance between predator and prey—until a murder, a poisoned pie, and a mother’s fierce love force Lu and Andrew into the same corner. Under a gun and with a pastor’s courage, they marry to save innocent lives. What begins as an act of protection becomes a slow, stubborn journey toward trust, truth, and redemption. As arrests close in, loyalties shatter, and a child is taken, both must decide if hope is real enough to risk everything. This is a suspenseful, faith-forward historical romance about second chances and the kind of hope you can’t counterfeit.
