It’s time to reveal the BEAUTIFUL, joy-filled cover for my next Eva Carter novel which is called OWNER OF A LONELY HEART…
Isn’t it gorgeous? The book is set during a summer heatwave in Bristol, and the cover designer has recreated the Clifton Suspension Bridge in a balmy evening – I think it’s so upbeat and colourful.
Here’s more about the book:
What are you most afraid of . . . ?
Gemma is terrified of slowing down, because if she does, she’ll have to admit how lonely she’s felt since losing the love of her life. So she fills her days with work and taking her dog, Bear, to comfort young patients at the local hospital. That's enough, isn't it?
Dan is scared of anyone getting to know the real him. He’s the life and soul of every party, but he’s certain that if people find out what he’s done, everything will fall apart.
Casey is Dan’s twelve year old daughter – though they barely know each other. She’s starting four weeks of treatment for a benign tumour, and is scared this summer could be her last.
When Gemma, Dan and Casey meet one scorching July, the connection is instant. Yet they’re all used to protecting themselves from heartbreak by keeping their distance. Now that fate – and a small, scruffy terrier – have brought them together, can they find the courage to connect?
A story of bravery in all its guises, Eva Carter's Owner of A Lonely Heart is about taking the plunge even when it frightens you – because it's never too late to find the people who make your world make sense.
This is a book I was writing while I was caring for my dad last year and – reading it again – I realised how much the story is about fatherly love, as well as the romantic kind.
