You know that stress inventory you can take? You get one point each for a long list of disastrous life events? LetтАЩs just say I have lost count. In the last year alone IтАЩve lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quietly quit my job, watched my closest friend-slash-sister-in-law move out of the country, and... well, I guess thatтАЩs it. Could be worse, right? So, here I am. My name is Holland Gallagher and I'm a twenty-seven-year-old MBA with no job and a broken heart.
Which, of course, is when my best friend-slash-mother-in-law Naomi introduces me to her oldest and dearest friend, Kai Ipu. HeтАЩs the empirically attractive Black-slash-Samoan CEO of a corporate consulting firm (think a started-in-his-dorm-room company with an eye to making corporations better citizens of the world). But IтАЩm a mess and heтАЩs significantly older than I am. So, I donтАЩt have to worry about that, right? YouтАЩd think. He just invited me to join his company. IтАЩm never one to turn down a challenge... so, here goes everything.
Loosely based on the Bible book of Ruth (but with f-bombs from Kai, HollandтАЩs drunken confessions of adoration, and one spicy sex scene), Holland, My Heart is the first in a collection of biblical womenтАЩs stories retold as contemporary romance. Holland, My Heart is an MF, dual POV, love-after-loss, sexy, witty standalone romance.
