You can tell when I have a new release around the corner.

-The house becomes cluttered

-Meals are quick and without fanfare

-I’m on the laptop all day

-I’m in a zone I call “story world” that takes me a bit to shift out of and join the real world

My family can rejoice because they get their wife/mom back because Repairing Hearts releases next week.

This is the second book of six in the Surrendering Hearts series featuring the Hart sextuplets. Each sibling discovers their own identity as they try to find a love like their parents shared. Jordyn was first in Anchored Hearts, and now it’s Ryan’s turn.

I loved writing Ryan’s story. He’s a loner who wants nothing to do with the publicity his family generates. In his haste to stay away from family drama, he bought a property that is a money pit and he doesn’t have the funds to renovate. Brother Evan pitches a reality show where Ryan is the star.

I didn’t know much about reality shows. I met with a dear friend who gave me great insight, and then I caved and watched Dance Moms, ten years after the fact. I learned so much, and I got hooked. Now I’m following the girls and the moms on social media and listening to podcasts. Yikes!

The reality show aspect gives way to plenty of conflict, and in this book, a major secret drops that changes the course of the series. I can’t wait for readers to discover it!

Authors can write all the books but it means nothing if readers don’t find, read, and review them. I hope you check out Repairing Hearts and let others know. This is a small town, reality show romance with Christian surrender themes. Anchored Hearts was about surrendering control. Repairing Hearts is about surrendering anger.

Here’s more:

What happens when a reality show creates a blight on sextuplet Ryan Hart’s life harsher than his dump of a home?

Ryan, the independent, brooding second oldest of the Hart sextuplets, can’t enjoy the solitude he craves when he agrees to star on a reality show. The plan is to discover a project manager to renovate his hole of a property. The show reveals that it’s more about Ryan’s dating life. Can he keep his guard up when everything around him is falling apart faster than the shingles on his roof?

BJ Wallace loves her quiet life in Wisconsin that she’s created far from her traumatic childhood. Everything changes when she learns she’s competing on Repairing Ryan’s Heart. As the show focuses more on Ryan than the house, BJ falls for him. Will she win the show and destroy Ryan with her secret, or sacrifice her heart to protect Ryan?

A small-town, reality show romance with family drama and a Christian thread of surrendering pride and anger.
