Stained Hearts

A Links In the Chain Story

Can two hearts stained by past pain find healing together?

Tom Kotke held his husband of twenty-five years on the day he died and spent nearly a year adrift. Determined to force Tom back into the world, his family takes him to the Park View Diner, where he meets young stained-glass artist Aiden Dawson. For a brief moment, Tom doesn't think about his deceased husband—a terrifying prospect.

Slowly, Aiden draws Tom out of his shell and helps him feel alive once more. But Tom isn't the only one who has suffered. Aiden fears no one sees beyond his wheelchair. Even if Tom can convince him he's different, they'll still have to overcome their age difference and a secret that could destroy their future together.
