Where the Heart Lays

To hide from her tortured past writer Lauren Radford has made herself disappear within the millions of New York City, a nameless face in a crowd of many. Professionally confident but quiet and as fragile as shattered glass personally she has lost her future within her past. Or so say the voices in her head which have tormented her for eleven long years since a shocking event as a teen in Sweden. Only after her book has been picked up for a movie deal does she dauntlessly leave the city in hopes of maintaining artistic control and venture to Los Angeles to meet the prospective actors.

In the City of Angels she meets gallant and magmatic Willem Rysberg, the Swedish Import she calls him. Tall, handsome, every bit the Nordic deity but he is from the land of her childhood home, a place she is not allowed to return, a place that holds terrible memories and stifling insecurities that oppress her hopes and dreams. Within his arms she finds passion and desire but also the courage to confront a horrific past. If she is unable to follow her heart and challenge her past, there won’t be a future to salvage with or without Willem by her side.
