Olivia's Heart Song (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781097328871)

After heart surgery at the age of thirty, Dan Newhouse feels like an old man. He quits his job and moves to his Delaware coast house on a peaceful bay, hoping some of the serenity of the area seeps into his soul. His upstairs neighbor, Olivia Bentley, however, seems to be wrestling with her own demons after a stint as an army nurse, and she's retreated to the beach for similar reasons: to chart a new course in life that will help her forget a troubled past. As Dan adjusts to his "new normal," he struggles with how to get Olivia to see him as a strong, independent man, not a patient to be pitied or looked after. Meanwhile, Olivia wrestles with how to get Dan to see her as more than a nursemaid when he's feeling frail and vulnerable.
Olivia's Heart Song is the second in a series set near the "quiet resort" of Bethany Beach, Delaware and introduces readers to this charming coastline and beautiful bays in the region. Reese's Summer of Promise is the first in the series.
