What the Heart Needs

A tortured past. A chance meeting. And a love that can't be ignored.

Kelly

For years, Kelly Reilley was careful not to let anyone into her closely protected personal space. The last time she did so, against her own wishes, she came out battered and bruised. And then, Jim Connor walked into her life and breached those walls without her even noticing. Something that shocked her to her core...and made her want things she didn’t think she could ever have.

Now, she's happily in love with the man of her dreams, but the scars of the past can't be forgotten. Especially when they threaten to stop her from getting her happy ever after.

Jim

Jim Connor has two things in his life that are important to him: his family and his job. He works as an electrician for a construction company, but his goal is to build houses one day. A dream he always thought was the thing he wanted most...until he ran into Kelly Reilley at the grocery store.

Now, dinners at home with his parents no longer are no longer on the schedule. Instead, he wants to spend every minute he can with her.

And that goal of building a house? It's now turned into a home for her.
