Wanda Marlow’s big secret about the father of her son, Carter, brings tension between her and Randy Sullivan, who has loved her since they were young teens. Wanda feels shame over the circumstances of her son’s conception, but once her secret begins to hurt Carter, Wanda and Randy both know the mystery must be uncovered.
In a drama-filled scene, the rescue pup Paws, who has belonged to Carter since they were both only months old, must help Randy save the nine-year-old from danger,
Told against the backdrop of a volunteer fire and rescue company in an isolated valley of Virginia’s Southern Appalachian Mountains, this story is filled with a unique cast of characters you will come to love and want to visit again.
This closed-door romance is more than just a HEA love story. It’s a story of compassion, friendship, community, and finding strength to overcome personal trauma. And an affirmation that families are built on more than just DNA. They are built on love.
You can read this book as a stand-alone, but you will enjoy a richer experience by reading the books in the Hidden Valley series in the order published.
Free on Kindle, October 18 – 20!
About the author:
Ann Heap is an award-winning author who lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Each of her closed-door romance novels is more than just a happily-ever-after love story. They are stories of compassion, friendship, community, and family. Stories where real people deal with life-altering, contemporary issues and find the strength and support to overcome personal trauma. Books one and two in my Hidden Valley series have received Literary Titan’s Gold Book Award.
Ann received her degree in Creative writing from the University of Pittsburgh many years ago. Her career path led her from social work, to the business world, and eventually to the classroom where she taught English, journalism, and photography to teens. The accidental discovery of a lost manuscript started over a dozen years ago inspired her to finally complete her first full-length novel. In addition to writing, she devotes time regularly to her other creative pursuits, art and photography.
