Just Like Romeo and Juliet–But with a Happy Ending

Lines had been drawn and sides had been taken decades ago. The Castro and King families did not interact with the Elliot family. Those bridges had been burned, and none of the Bank Street crew talked about it. They never even ate at the same restaurant or shopped at the same store.

Each family had a stake in Galveston, but they lived without supporting each other or interacting in any way. A romantic match between members of these feuding families would be impossible. It wouldn't just be frowned upon, it was absolutely forbidden. Which is why two of them could never fall in love. It's a good thing love doesn't play by the rules.

Anne Rose Kennedy learned about her biological family when she was 20 years old. She had grown up in a loving environment and was happy with her life. But she was also curious about her roots.

She began traveling to Galveston Island to work at her grandparent's restaurant and get to know them better. Those trips and experiences were priceless to Anne Rose, and to top it off she was falling in love with Will Castro.

Anne Rose had no idea that there was a long-standing conflict between the Elliots and Castros/Kings. She had no idea that a romance between her and Will would be forbidden. But ultimately they could not deny their love for one another and would use that love as the catalyst to heal the rift between the families, proving that love conquers all.
