Hidden Hearts — Ann Roberts

A love story where losing may be the only way to win...

With staggering student loans to repay, CC Carlson is determined to please her new employers. The first assignment as a real estate lawyer is easy: deliver an eviction notice and make it clear that it will be enforced.
She can see right away why the heir wants the charming farmhouse, cottages and land. She delivers her notice and ultimatum and only then realizes that the nearly 70-year-old occupant is the inspiring creator of a series of books that had filled her childhood with stories of love and courage.

Love and tragic secrets are part of every inch of her land, and Vivian Battle is prepared to live up to her name, as she always has. Her fiercely loyal tenants will also protect her. That includes the far-too attractive Penn, also a lawyer, who is only too happy to tell CC what she can do with her eviction notice.
