Where We Begin

A Hearts of the South Book

Nurse Landra Beck always wanted to be loved for herself. Devastated to learn her lover only became involved with her to help him get over a thwarted attraction to another woman, she ran – straight into a nightmarish marriage. Now pregnant but free of her abusive husband, Landra has no goals, no plans – only the task of surviving each day and creating a new normal. Her life is nothing she’d planned.

ER physician Jay Mackey knows what he lost when his unthinking confession sent Landra running from him. He’s spent a year coming to terms with his feelings for her and thinking he’d lost her for good. When Landra returns to Coney, Georgia and to Chandler General’s ER, Jay is shaken by how broken she is, yet impressed by her strength. He’s determined to earn her trust by being the man he should have been for her before . . . and equally determined to show her this could be the moment where they begin.
