Love for You

Texas Heat

By: Beth A. Freely

Narrated by: Scarlett Bayvin

In the small town of Oakridge, Texas, widowed architect Nathan Shepard returns with his young son, Ethan, seeking solace after the loss of his wife. Struggling with his own grief, Nathan is also faced with Ethan's silent pain, the boy retreating into himself as he mourns his mother.

When Nathan hires kind-hearted nanny Olivia "Liv" Bennett, her warmth and patience begin to break through Ethan’s walls, bringing laughter and light back into their home. As Liv helps Ethan navigate his grief, she and Nathan find themselves drawn to each other, their connection deepening with every shared moment.

But both carry wounds—Nathan’s lingering guilt over his job and Liv’s guarded heart—and as their bond blossoms, the challenges of blending their lives and moving forward test their courage. Under the Texas sky, love offers a second chance, but will they take the leap?
