Childhood best friends estranged by a mistake. Can love prevail now that they're all grown-up?
Growing up as American expats in Chile, Tyler Abernathy and his best friend, Gemma, were practically inseparable. So he was crushed the day his family moved back to the States, and she refused to say goodbye. When she shows up on his doorstep seven years later, he can't believe his good luck. Maybe this could be a fresh start for their friendship. The only problem? She wants nothing to do with him. The last person Gemma Schalk expects to see after moving to Buena Hills is Tyler, the childhood friend who broke her heart. Determined to prevent him from hurting her again, she does her best to avoid him, even as her beloved grandmother tries to set them up. But when a health scare lands Gram in the hospital, Gemma reluctantly turns to him, the one familiar face in a town full of strangers. Can they let go of old hurts and discover their true feelings? Or are the secrets of the past too difficult to overcome?
Discovering Her Heart is a sweet, friends-to-more "prequel" to the Buena Hills series. It has all the heart and emotion you love in a romance novel without the explicit content.
