When Love Heals: A Later in Life, Opposites Attract, Small-Town Clean Romance

By Ruby Ashford

She's afraid to let anyone in. He's going back to Nepal-for good. Will these two hearts risk everything for love, or lose their chance at happiness?

Dr. Ivy Rutherford is trapped. After years of work, her soul-driven project is in jeopardy when she must go against everything she believes-or lose her funding. So in a meeting about a solution, she's horrified that she has to accept help from the obnoxious hippie she can't stand-or watch her dream die.

Noah Remington dreaded coming back. After 30 years away, he intends a speedy escape, but when Fate insists he helps Ivy, one encounter with her green eyes drops a bomb in the middle of his plans. Now, his unwavering commitment to help an impoverished community is threatened, and the weight of it is crushing.

When Ivy finds herself falling for the charismatic yogi, she chokes back her feelings, knowing he's soon leaving, never to return.

Meanwhile, Noah can't get her out of his head, but with nothing to offer but his heart, he assumes her distance is a rejection he can't afford to ignore.

Will they risk everything for love, or are they destined to let fear destroy their chance at happiness?
