Without a Dream in My Heart

By Dahlia Rae

Chase Newell has always done what's expected of him-sacrificing his dreams to hold his fractured family together. He's convinced this is just the way life is. Love? That's a luxury he gave up long ago.

Dr. Dylan Woods finds fulfillment in the operating room and comfort in his routines. His life revolves around two people: his brilliant daughter Emery and his impulsive younger brother Spence. He's fine, really. So what if he hasn't been on a date in years?

When a favor for Spence collides with a family emergency, Chase and Dylan find themselves thrown together in the most unexpected of ways. What starts as tension slowly becomes understanding... and maybe even something more.

Set against the backdrop of small-town gossip, family expectations, and the quiet ache of loneliness, Without a Dream in My Heart is a story about healing old wounds, opening new doors, and choosing joy-even when it's messy.

*"This book made me cry in the best way-raw, real, and so full of love. I saw parts of myself in Colton and Dylan, and by the end, I wanted to hug them both."*

About the Author

Dahlia Rae writes heartfelt romances about imperfect people building better futures-one awkward encounter, coffee-fueled confession, or quiet act of love at a time. When she's not writing, she's probably browsing plant nurseries, collecting vintage mugs, or plotting her next book with a playlist on repeat.
