5 Things to Know About the Hero and Heroine in “To Heal a Heart”
Garrett Saunders' world changed two
years ago on a road in Afghanistan. Back home, he feels like a stranger. As he
struggles to find his place in the world, he meets a horse destined for the
slaughterhouse and a woman bent on rescuing the strays of the world, including
him.
Blair Greyson moves to Masonville
to look after her ailing grandfather and give her rescue horses a home. Right
away she butts heads with a surly former Marine. Despite a rocky start, they
come to an agreement: Blair will board Garrett's rescue horse and he'll help
with repairs around her farm.
Garrett finds purpose working with
Blair—and falls in love with her. But she's hiding a secret. Can she forgive
herself and accept Garrett's love, or will she let guilt and regret continue to
rule her life?
Excerpt:
He pushed himself to
his feet, disconcerted by his unsteadiness. He made a few halting steps toward
the gate as Blair ran into the yard.
“I forgot my
sweater,” she said, grabbing the garment from the back of a chair and slipping
it on. “It’s cooler than I thought. Are you sure you don’t want to watch the
fireworks with us?”
“No, I—”
His words were cut
off by a loud explosion, and his only thought was that he had to protect Blair.
He grabbed her and threw her to the ground, covering her body with his. He was
under attack. Why was Blair in Afghanistan? How could he keep her safe?
Through the chaos
and noise he heard her muffled voice beneath him. “Garrett, you’re crushing
me.”
He shifted his
weight slightly. “Shh. I’m sorry. You have to stay down and quiet. I can’t let
them hurt you.”
She stopped struggling.
“Who’s going to hurt me?”
“Can’t you hear the
mortar fire? I have to protect you.”
Her hand rubbed his
back in gentle circles. “It’s all right, Garrett. It’s only fireworks. It can’t
hurt us. We’re safe here.”
He lifted his head
and looked around. He was in Cole and Lauren’s back yard in Masonville. There
were no bombs, no shelling, no Taliban. He looked down into Blair’s face, into
the pity in her eyes. He rolled off her, disgusted with himself.
Disgusted and scared.
He was losing his mind.
