Healing Jacob's Heart: A Prequel to the Quinn Quartet


Book Description

A small-town doctor left behind with three young boys. A compassionate woman who can help them heal. But is their town ready for an interracial relationship – and is he ready for her? Peaceful, Ohio, is a small village in the Appalachian hills. Amidst the scenery of stunning nature, the villagers don’t have much more entertainment than gossip. Local doctor Jacob is a respected member of the community. Coming from a line of farmers and miners, he got himself through college on a scholarship. When he returned to take over old Doctor Johnson’s practice, the town welcomed him like a hero – even when he brought home a city girl as his wife. When his wife abandons him and their three young sons, all the ladies smell blood. Circling him like vultures, Jacob tries to ignore them as best he can. He buries himself in his work because Jacob has had enough of women for the rest of his life. Hester thought teaching young children would be her greatest challenge when she arrived in Peaceful. She isn't expecting to deal with a hostile community and a burned man. Only when he buries the past, can they have a future. Author’s note: Healing Jacob’s Heart is a short (historical) prequel to a brand-new series by Karen Nappa: The Quinn Quartet. It contains spanking, explicit language, and a guaranteed HEA.




Standing Fast


Book Description

She never thought trusting him with her body would give him access to her most guarded body part—her heart. Welcome back to Peaceful, where danger spikes to new heights. Sapphira is a hard-core masochist who craves pain more than sexual release. She doesn’t let men in her life, let alone her home, and now Master B has been there twice. The first time, the intensity of his scene pushed her so far into subspace, released way too many emotions… she didn’t dare let down her guard a second time. Not with anyone. But that was before everything went to hell, and now, not only is he back in her home… but he might just be in her heart. Author's note: Standing Fast is the third installment in the Quinn Quartet. Although the book contains a complete romance story with HEA, we recommend reading the books in order—starting with Delving Deep. Standing Fast mentions child abuse and although it’s in the past, this might trigger memories. It also contains disturbing and harmful coping mechanisms to deal with the past. Reader discretion is advised.
