Healing Hearts

First rule of a double life: don't fall for someone who could uncover both.

Brooke Edwards has the routine down to an art. Weekdays: elementary school librarian, beloved by every kid in Hibiscus Harbor, finder of perfect dragon-princess books. Nights: Sophie Quinn, bestselling author of romances steamy enough to fog the windows of her quiet little life.

Two identities. Zero overlap. One ironclad rule.

Then two things happen in the same week: a stranger's email lands - I know who you are, Sophie Quinn. You can't hide forever - and Dr. Trevor Jacobs eats her burger at Hooplas.

Trevor is everything Brooke doesn't have time for: a trauma surgeon with steady hands, a wicked smile, a hidden talent she can't stop thinking about, and ghosts of his own - including a manipulative ex who's just arrived in town with an agenda.

As Brooke and Trevor fall - over sunsets, kickball games, and chapters she's never shown anyone - the threats escalate. And when her secret detonates in the most public way possible, Brooke has to decide who she really is.

Librarian. Author. Both. Loudly.

He knows exactly what she writes. And he loves every word of it.

Healing Hearts is Book Four in the Hibiscus Harbor series - a warm, witty, steamy smalltown romance with a secret-identity heroine, a doctor hero worth paging, a vindictive ex who picks the wrong town, and the found family readers have followed for three books. Standalone HEA.
