*The Heart Knows series books are the clean and wholesome version of Lee Kilraine’s Cates Brothers books. This is the same romance but with all cursing and sexual situations removed.* No swearing No sex scenes A closed door romance with plenty of chemistry & swoony kisses and then — *fade-to-black.* Healing Hearts is the clean and wholesome version of Could This Be Love . She probably should NOT have told her boss he has a small…tool. The new member of Tynan Cates’s construction crew might just drive him crazy. She claims she’s got construction experience but…She’s afraid of heights. (Climbing ladders is part of the job.) She’s a hazard with a hammer. (And every other tool.) And she suggested he had a small…you know what? Never mind about that. Lulubelle Swan tells her new boss she’s experienced. No, not like that. In construction. A Big. Fat. Lie. But she needs help getting her life unstuck after tragic loss. The former soldier is just the man to help. Except she can’t get him to talk about his past. Ty wants to block out the past and live in peace. The last thing he wants is some pint-sized pixie to stir up things long-buried. No matter how sexy she is. Lu wants to get unstuck so her family can stop worrying. The last thing she wants is some muscle-bound ex-soldier to make her feel things again. Sexy things. Sometimes, instead of getting what you want, life gives you what you need. If you’re lucky. Healing Hearts is a full-length small-town romance featuring a grumpy ex-soldier, a woman lying her butt off to gain closure, a pushy three-legged rescue dog and his cat, and a tight-knit family of brothers. It’s a romance about learning to live—and love—again after loss. A little heat, a lot of heart, some humor and a sigh-worthy HEA.
Author

M.L. Collins has done stuff. Good stuff. Bad stuff. Fun stuff. Boring stuff. She believes in true love, laughing loud and often, being kind, and assuming the best in people until they show her otherwise. She loves classic rock, old Motown, and ’90s country music. Just try to stop her from dancing. Although, please don’t, because she loves dancing. (But, for the love of Pete, do stop her from singing; only people who love her dearly should have to suffer through that.) She hates naps, dill pickles, and scary movies. Loves windy days, dogs, and LOTR. She’s an unashamed lover of sprinkles on cupcakes. M.L. loves reading and writing quirky sweet romance novels that makes you snicker, swoon, and sigh.
