First rule of living a double life… don’t fall for someone who can uncover both. Brooke Edwards has perfected the art of living a double life. By day, she’s a curvy, kind-hearted elementary school librarian adored by children. By night, she transforms into Sophie Quinn, a bestselling romance author whose sizzling stories make hearts race. Brooke keeps her identities separate—until an obsessive fan threatens to expose her carefully guarded secret, shaking her safe little world. Dr. Trevor Jacobs has spent years saving lives, not seeking love. But when he crosses paths with Brooke—first over a mistaken burger and later under the glow of a Hibiscus Harbor sunset—he’s captivated by her warmth, wit, and the spark in her eyes. She’s a refreshing change from his chaotic past, but Trevor has his own ghosts, including a manipulative ex who’s just landed in town. As Trevor and Brooke’s connection deepens, so does the danger. When Brooke’s alter ego is exposed in a dramatic confrontation, both she and Trevor must face the flames—literally and figuratively—to protect what matters most. Can Trevor and Brooke find the courage to fight for their future, or will the secrets and scars of their past keep them apart? Healing Hearts is a captivating romantic suspense that blends passion, danger, and a touch of humor in a small-town setting. Perfect for listeners who love relatable characters, steamy romance, and a dash of mystery.
