Secret Hearts

J.L. Jarvis

A mysterious letter unlocks forbidden love.

Maggie MacLaren longs to leave her hometown, even if she must quell her attraction to rugged steelworker Jake O’Neill. He is handsome and solid, like the ordinary life all around her. When refined Andrew Adair walks into Maggie’s library, he sweeps her into his world of wealth and power, where dreams seem possible.

High above the town, reclusive young widow Allison Kimball finds a love letter tucked into her carpetbag. So begins a series of secret epistles and midnight trysts with a man she’s forbidden to love. When tragic flood waters come crashing down on the town, only courage will help love survive.

Originally published as Watermarks.
