Bound by History (Book 1 of The Sisters Abroad Series: Brie’s Story) A love story written in ink — rewritten by time. What if love could survive decades … and fate gave you a second chance to rewrite history? Word-nerd Brie never expected her trip to Germany to become entangled in someone else’s past—much less a century-old romance written in letters, sealed with secrets, and carried across time. But as she unravels the lost story of A and E —two lovers torn apart by war, distance, and impossible promises—she discovers a connection that begins to rewrite her own fate. For Cowboy Eli , a shy soldier with a Texas drawl and a heart for history, Brie is more than a chance encounter. She’s the echo of a love that slipped away long ago—a love ready to be reclaimed. But secrets have a way of resurfacing, and as summer turns to fall, Brie’s time in Stuttgart is running out. To hold onto Eli—and the future they’ve only just begun—she must decide whether love, like history, can truly survive across oceans and generations. Bound by Chance is a breathtaking, slow-burn military romance filled with letters, laughter, longing, and second chances across time.
