A Father’s Control. A Forbidden Love. One Woman’s Fight for Freedom.

In 19th‑century Switzerland, Amalia Grob is expected to obey. Her father dictates her future, the church defines her role, and every path before her leads to a life she does not choose.

When Amalia falls for Peter—a bold young artist with dreams beyond their Swiss mountain village—everything begins to change. Their connection is forbidden. Their love, dangerous. Yet in Peter’s presence, she glimpses a life of freedom and purpose she’s never dared to imagine.

Trained to suppress her desires and accept her fate, Amalia begins to resist—first in silence, then in secrecy, and finally with defiant plans to elope. But when their love is exposed, the consequences are devastating. Her world shatters, yet something inside her has awakened. And there is no turning back.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps, The Alpenhaus is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, resilience, and the courage it takes to forge your own path. Inspired by the true‑life love story of pioneering photographer Peter Britt and Amalia Grob, this is Book One in the Where Lost Dreams Awaken series.
