All the Rooms of My Heart — Janis Reams Hudson

Her Life Needed Serious Remodeling
New York City TV news producer Whitney Sheridan lives on a diet of caffeine, antacids, junk food, and stress--and she wouldn't have it any other way. Her work is demanding, but it's also a cocoon of security that means she never has to count on anyone else. And then comes word that her last remaining relative, her beloved Aunt Claudia, has died, leaving Whitney to settle her estate in Washita, Texas. Whitney intends to perform her duties and return to New York as quickly as possible, closing the door on memories of the warm, happy childhood summers she spent with Aunt Claudia. What she doesn't count on is local carpenter Adam Burkett, and his unsettling way of getting under her skin.

Adam isn't fooled by Whitney's high-powered, short-fused facade. He can see that she loved her aunt dearly, and that beneath her big-city armor lurks a wounded heart in need of repair. And if there's one thing Adam understands, it's how to fix something that seems beyond hope, to patiently bring it back to radiant life. He only hopes he's up to the challenge of convincing Whitney that every heart, no matter how damaged, has room for love--and that walking away would be the biggest risk of all.
