Matters of the Heart - WIP
Annabel Macalister’s life was already a mess, but one desperate decision could change everything. When she lands a live-in position renovating an estate, she has no experience with, she hopes it’s her chance at a start fresh. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself in the middle of the fractured and secret-filled Jackson family world she wanted no part of but can’t seem to escape.
Richard Jackson never planned to come back. But when he returns to help his father, he discovers his brother has made bold changes to the family business, including hiring Annabel, a mysterious housekeeper with secrets of her own. Despite their rocky start, Richard and Annabel team up to repair the broken pieces of the estate—and the family itself.
But as long-buried truths come to light and tensions rise, so does their undeniable attraction. Can the love they’re beginning to build survive the weight of their past and the secrets threatening to tear them apart? Or is Annabel destined to remain just the hired help in a family she can never truly belong to?
A story of love, redemption, and healing, Matters of the Heart is an emotional journey that proves some secrets can bind hearts together—if only they’re brave enough to face them.
