Nothing in My Heart

[BookStrand Contemporary Romance, HEA] Bronwyn Campbell is a contract lawyer who mixes business with pleasure when she is assigned to sculptor Aedan MacGregor. Alone in the world, Bronwyn finds herself head over heels in love with the taciturn Scot, and believes he feels the same about her, despite his single-minded focus on his art. Until she overhears a conversation between Aedan and his agents. Her perception of their relationship is challenged, hearing that while Aedan wants her in his life, it is as his lawyer - with benefits - and nothing long lasting. He doesn't require her in any other way. Falling back into old, learned behavioral responses, Bronwyn withdraws, and takes advantage of a job transfer opportunity while Aedan is overseas. Feeling she doesn't owe him an explanation, and in an effort to salvage some scrap of pride and assuage her broken heart, Bronwyn arranges to move to Atlanta. But when it comes to eavesdropping, sometimes one doesn't hear everything... ** A BookStrand Mainstream Romance
