Cockleburr Hearts
By Shirley Staggs

Victoria Ashford has everything money can buy-wealth, power, and a thriving business empire in New York City. Yet behind her polished image lies a lonely woman with a heart as prickly as a cocklebur, keeping everyone at a distance to avoid being hurt. When her grandmother's will requires her to spend one year on the family farm in Kentucky, Victoria reluctantly leaves behind her glamorous life, convinced she will count down every miserable day until she can return home. But the peaceful countryside has other plans. There she meets Samuel Carter, a rugged and handsome farmhand with a gentle spirit and secrets of his own. As the seasons change, Samuel slowly chips away at the walls surrounding Victoria's heart, teaching her that true happiness cannot be measured by wealth or success. Between breathtaking sunsets, unexpected adventures, old family wounds, and the rediscovery of love, Victoria must decide where she truly belongs. Will she return to the life she built in the city, or will she choose the simple farm life and the man who has shown her what it means to truly live and love?

Cockleburr Hearts is a heartwarming contemporary romance about healing, second chances, forgiveness, and discovering that sometimes the prickliest hearts bloom into the most beautiful love stories.
