A Debut Contemporary Romance
A Matter of the Heart
A smart, funny, and sometimes tragic look at what can happen when the mind meddles in matters of the heart.
The Story
When love ambushes a woman who's braced for goodbye
Eve was given up for adoption at birth, and she has never quite believed she was good enough. Now L.A.'s number-one investigative reporter — ambitious, driven, an overachiever to her core — she keeps intimacy skin-deep and treats commitment as one more promise waiting to be broken. The fortress around her heart is impenetrable, and she means to keep it that way.
Then Jack Moorefield practically runs her over at the airport. A single father and lumberjack from northern Oregon — a mysterious man with a twinkle in his eye — he sets her life on a course she resists. A single clue leads Eve to a tiny coastal town called Dead Fish, and back to Jack. From the rugged Oregon coast to the streets of Chicago, her fear of abandonment and his fear of being truly seen collide, forcing them toward a truth neither is ready for.
A Matter of the Heart is a contemporary romance — by turns smart, funny, and tragic — about ambition, adoption, and the terrifying courage it takes to believe that someone might actually stay.
From the rugged Oregon coast to the streets of Chicago.
