Heartbeats

Included in Subscription

Heartbeats returns readers to the quaint resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho with a moving story about three sisters rebuilding their lives when they’ve got nothing left to lose.

Karyn Macadam is starting over after losing her husband to a skiing accident. She’s given her heart to a handsome backcountry pilot and has a new job running the Sun Valley Lodge. Finally, her trampled heart is healing. That is, until a surprise visitor shows up and creates a plot twist that will shock even the most ardent readers.

Leigh Ann Blackburn faces an unexpected turn of events that opens old wounds and upends the world Leigh Ann has carefully built—and the results, though not entirely what she expected, might be what she’s been yearning for all along.

Joie Abbott’s long-awaited new beginning comes with unanticipated twists and turns . . . and a risk that will cost her far more than she could have imagined—perhaps more than she can survive.
