Heart of the Matter

Amelia Burke is confident she has her priorities straight. She has very little savings and even less free time, but the satisfaction she gets from working with at-risk youth is well worth the sacrifices. While she's focused on changing the world, destiny, in the form of a handsome stranger, steps in and changes her life. Brady Kearney is the kind of man most women dream about: sexy and charming, with the kind of confidence that only comes from being born into old money. As heir to Texas's wealthiest oil family, Brady's accustomed to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Amelia. Unfortunately, he also wants to tear down the youth center she works for to make way for condominiums. Amelia is outraged by Brady's plans, but unable to resist the growing heat between them. She gives in to her desires and learns there's more to Brady than what meets the eye. They grow closer and Amelia begins to trust they have a future together. But then, their two very different worlds collide in a shocking act of violence that threatens to tear them apart forever. *** The Heart of the Matter is a hot romance series with explicit scenes.
