A bruised and battered heart. A wounded hero. The heart finds a way.

Olivia Knight didn't like Ellis Wallace when she first met him. He oozed charm, and charm was something she doesn't trust. She has learned the hard way that there were plenty of men out in the world who can't be trusted. When they met, she did her best to ensure he would keep his distance. But when she learns Ellis is hurt, she finds herself wanting to rush to his side.

Ellis Wallace doesn't want to be attracted to Olivia Knight. She's the complete opposite of the type of woman he dates. Not to mention, the woman is prickly and annoying. When he sees her again, he wants to ignore her presence but finds it impossible. And when she shows up at his home determined to help him regain his health, he can't help but wonder what her motive is.

The pair finds, much to their surprise, that the attraction between them is quite real, despite their rocky past. But when an ex-fiancée from Ellis's past comes between them, they will discover whether their love is fleeting or the kind that lasts forever.

Note from author: "This is the fourth book in The Heart's Way series, approximately 55,000 words. Before I wrote Ellis's story, I knew he needed a woman who could stand up to him. I like Olivia's spunk and knew she was perfect for Ellis. All The Heart's Way books can be read separately, but like most series, it's more fun in order. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy." – Elizabeth Castle.
