Twenty-one-year-old Neka is a bit of an introvert, she also happens to be stunningly beautiful.
When she discovers her friend James is about to be dumped, she sees the perfect opportunity to escape from her quiet life. Can she summon the courage to leave it all behind?
James Copley comes from a ruthless family. It’s rubbed off.
Years ago, he disengaged from his brother’s smear campaign, but now his father has offered him an ultimatum, “Get married or lose your seat at the table.”
Plotting to stamp his design on the family business, he proposes to a woman, even though he doesn’t love her.
But his carefully laid plans start to unravel when she leaves him on the day she’s due to meet his family.
Could years of planning his comeback vanish with her departure?
A possible solution comes in an unexpected form: Neka. She’s not only a friend, but the daughter of his benefactor. And she’s right there, offering to support him.
But will her support stretch to marriage?
He attempts to win her over to his plan but collides with her powerful father who wants to leverage the situation for his own gain.
In their fight for survival and love, they are forced to face some uncomfortable truths.
Can they overcome thwarted dreams and missed chances to find true love, or does forcing destiny’s hand only lead to misery?

Excerpt from A Gateway to Hope
This trip was indeed a godsend. She determined to leave her doomsday imaginings aside. Teri had broken off the engagement. Today Neka would show James the same kindness he’d always shown her. She wouldn’t shy away from the moment. A brand-new world waited in the wings. Grinning, she repeated her mom’s promise from two months ago, a week after her twenty-first birthday.
“A sea of change will overtake me.”
Since those precious words were spoken, she’d vowed to seek out new experiences. She would live instead of waft around on autopilot. In the past, days slid into one another without her noticing the prospects each one held. After a conversation with her mom yesterday, the doubt door closed forever. Today she would step outside a humdrum existence into a marvelous adventure. While the cab driver removed her luggage from the trunk, she leaped from the vehicle. Holding the money above his hand, she smiled. “Thank you for letting me linger in your cab.”
Taking in the scene with a suitcase in each hand, she glanced at the men checking baggage. Destination: skycaps.
Neka waited beside a group of travelers standing in line, just outside Teri’s and James’s line of sight. Hidden behind a cart piled high with duffel bags, she encouraged herself when Teri sashayed away while talking into her cell phone.
Luggage in hand, James headed toward the place where she stood trembling.
“Here we go.” The words almost stuck in her throat.
Scanning the area in an offhand manner, he recognized her. His alert gaze froze her to her spot.

About the Author of The Hope Series
E. C. Jackson began her writing career with the full-length play Pajama Party. Thirty-one years later, she adapted the play into Pajama Party: The Story, a companion book to the second book in the five-book standalone Hope series.
Jackson’s favorite pastime is reading fiction. She enjoys taking the journey along with the characters in the books. That also led to her unorthodox approach to story writing. Her vision for each book she writes is to immerse readers into the storyline so they become connected with each character.
“The Write Way: A Real Slice of Life” is the slogan on her website and Facebook author page. She feels that if every person reading her books feels connected to the characters, her job is done.
