Heart of Anise (The Callahans Book 3)

A shared past, a fresh start, and a lifetime of love in the third novel in The Callahans series.

Scarred by a disastrous marriage and disillusioned with love, Dr. Anise Quinn carves out a life in San Francisco, determined to play it safe. She knows better than to let her walls down with any man again. A chance encounter sweeps Anise into the life of childhood friend, Christian Callahan, a man she once shared a kiss with.

After his best friend died in combat, and Christian returned home from the war disabled, he spent years rebuilding his life, only to run into Anise, the woman he walked away from and never forgot. Magnetic and larger than life, a fierce attraction forms with the ruggedly handsome ex-Marine and Anise. And now, he’s not walking away from her. Not this time.

When a catastrophe in San Francisco throws them together, forcing them to rely on each other, the pull between them is hard to ignore, forcing them to face what they’ve been avoiding--she’s trying to escape her past, he’s trying to outrun his. Though Anise tries to resist Christian, she can’t escape the irresistible charm of her childhood crush. Sparks fly and passion ignites as chemistry and an undeniable heat refuse to cool. Can Anise risk putting her heart on the line for a second chance at love?

Heart of Anise is about trust and love--learning to give it, to hold it, and to risk it. This heartfelt romance is filled with passion, promise, and second chances.
