Dreams at Ellis Island: Forbidden Desire in America’s New Dawn

In 1905 New York, the promise of a new life glitters like sunlight on the Hudson but for Italian immigrant Luca Moretti, survival is the only dream he can afford. Fresh off the boat at Ellis Island, he takes a grueling job in a textile mill, swallowed by the clatter of machines and the sharp scent of sweat and steam.

Evelyn Caldwell, the factory owner’s daughter, has never stepped beyond her world of manners and marble halls. When she visits the factory to oversee a charity drive, she meets Luca quiet, proud, and entirely out of bounds.

One stolen moment shatters the barrier between them. Desire builds, fierce and forbidden, testing the limits of duty and defiance. Whispers spread. Lines blur. And the cost of a single touch grows heavier with every passing day.

From the crowded docks of Manhattan to the wide plains of the American frontier, their journey unfolds a struggle for dignity, hope, and the freedom to love.

In a country divided by class and conviction, can two hearts bound by courage survive the weight of the world against them?

***

Their struggle for love is echoed in every era, binding them to others who dared to want more than history allowed.

In a land shaped by struggle and ambition, where freedom clashed with conquest, love was never simple. New World Passions follows couples caught between loyalty and desire, tradition and change, survival and surrender. From hidden encounters on wild frontiers to quiet secrets traded in glittering ballrooms, each story shows how desire can flare brightest in the hardest of times. Every book brings its own tale of longing and defiance, yet together they create a larger tapestry love pushing against history’s rules, refusing to disappear.

Will these stories linger long after the last page is turned?
