Books with Heart  

Starting over feels like the end when thirty-nine year old Autumn Winters has to say goodbye to marriage and her college-bound son, and hello to finding a job and being single. After being home for nineteen years to raise her son, finding a job, with limited skills, isn’t going to be easy. Her mother, who has a penchant for all things cosmic, insists an aura cleansing will solve her daughter’s problems. Autumn doesn’t believe in any of her mother’s new age antics and knows it’s going to take more than a spiritual fix to get her life in order. Thirty-six year old Jack Ayres had apprehensions when he agreed to ghostwrite a book with the ex-girlfriend of a former hitman, but the money far outweighed the possible danger. One year after publication, the money’s been spent and the hired gun has returned. While visiting his mother and a brother who’s undergoing a gender change, Jack learns he’s the hitman’s next target. Insecurities rise and self-image plummets until Autumn and Jack rediscover themselves, accept the new direction their lives are taking and follow the path that brought them together.
