Now and Forever 4, The Renovated Heart
by Jean C. Joachim
Two love stories, side-by-side.
Tunney Nichols is so lonely he lets Kit, a houseless married woman, live in his mother’s place while he renovates it. His guarded heart is safe because he never fools around with married women. Or is it? How come all the male clothes in the closet are brand new and in different sizes? What’s she hiding?
Kit’s life comes to a halt when her husband slaps her with a divorce. Finding herself without a place to live, she takes Tunney’s offer of cheap rent. Telling a lie she soon regrets, she’s drawn to the sexy man plastering and painting his way into her heart. Can she resist him?
