In Radiance of the Heart, a quiet village is shattered by secrets long buried and desires long denied. When Sarah Whitmore returns to her ancestral home following her grandmother's mysterious passing, she finds herself entangled in a legacy steeped in shadows. The once-idyllic town of Evermere hides fractures beneath its charming facade-whispers of forbidden love, betrayal, and a family curse that refuses to die. As Sarah unravels the truth behind a locket she discovers in her grandmother's attic, she is drawn into a dangerous dance with a man who knows more than he admits, and a history that threatens to repeat itself. With each layer uncovered, Sarah must decide whether to run from her bloodline or embrace its pain and passion to set herself and the village free. Radiance of the Heart is a lyrical, suspenseful literary fiction novel about love's endurance in the face of haunting truths.
