About this listen

Coming home wasn’t in her plans, but it might be exactly what her heart needs.

Emma Bradley left Willow Ridge with big dreams and a heart full of determination to never look back. But when her first solo interior design project brings her face-to-face with her ex, Nick Winston, the man who once shattered her heart, she’s forced to confront the past she thought she’d left behind.

Nick has spent years regretting the way things ended with Emma, and when a storm traps them together in the dilapidated B&B he's restoring, old sparks reignite. As they navigate shared memories and new challenges, they’ll uncover truths that could mend their broken hearts—or leave them further apart than ever.

Will Emma find the courage to forgive, or will her longing for the city life keep her running? Will Nick convince her that sometimes the best dreams are the ones you build together?

Sheltered Hearts is a heartwarming short story of second chances, small-town charm, and rediscovering love where you least expect it. Perfect for readers who enjoy sweet romance with a dash of nostalgia and a lot of heart.

Poor Nick is dealing with a woman who doesn't ask for clarification, doesn't listen unless circumstances give her no other choice, and leaves him to do all the work toward repairing misunderstandings. This does not bode well for a long term relationship but he seems happy in the end. For that I'm glad. Let's hope there is more to Emma than this narrative reveals.

And curiously, for such a short story there is a LOT of repetition.

I feel sorry for Nick
