Healing Hearts on the River
Hunter Banderas

From the sun-drenched streets of San Antonio comes a story of second chances that will capture your heart...
Dr. Nathan Cole moved across the country to escape his past—a devastating betrayal that left him vowing never to trust again. Burying himself in his work as a brilliant oncologist at San Antonio's Methodist Hospital, he's convinced that healing others is enough to fill the emptiness in his life.
Elena Sandoval has mastered the art of self-protection. After a painful divorce left her raising her daughter alone, she's built walls around her heart that no one has been able to breach. As a dedicated nurse practitioner, she focuses on her patients and her eight-year-old daughter Lucia, believing that's all the love she needs—or deserves.
But when a chance collision in a hospital hallway brings them together, neither is prepared for the immediate connection that sparks between them. Against the backdrop of historic San Antonio—from the storied Alamo to the enchanting Riverwalk—they begin a tentative dance of revelation and retreat, each step bringing them closer to the terrifying possibility that some risks might actually be worth taking.
Can two people scarred by betrayal find the courage to lower their defenses? Or will the ghosts of relationships past prevent them from embracing the promise of a love they never expected to find?
Healing Hearts on the River is a moving tale of resilience and redemption that proves sometimes the most wounded hearts have the greatest capacity to love again. Perfect for fans of emotional love stories with depth, heart, and the promise that while love may hurt, it remains our most powerful healer.
