A Knowing Heart

The Vosses, Book 1

Falling in love was simple. But staying together will take everything they have.

Thea Keats and Frederick Voss know exactly what they want: a quiet proposal, a beautiful wedding, and a lifetime of love. Their path is clear, their hearts are certain, and nothing stands in their way.

Until his father dies and their world unravels at the seams.

Instead of a happily ever after, Frederick inherits a legacy of lies and a crumbling estate. Bankrupt and disgraced, saving his mother and siblings from destitution will take a miracle, and he refuses to drag Thea into a life of poverty and ruin.

Love does not always conquer all.

With Frederick pushing her away and her friends and family insisting she leave him, Thea discovers that love and loyalty come at a high price. One that may cost her everything.

But what neither of them knows is how deep his father’s lies run, and if the truth comes to light, more than their two hearts will shatter…

I love her books

I've been desperate to read Frederick and Thea's story since they first appeared in Flame and Ember, and this didn't disappoint. I love their story so much!
