Resurrected Hearts

Saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost-filled grief counselor, Jimi Leigh Gold, has resigned herself to a life of widowhood, dedicating her days to nurturing her friends, family, and clients. But nearly three years after her race car driver husband’s tragic accident, a $10 million wrongful death settlement arrives, unraveling her carefully constructed world. With guidance from her somewhat meddlesome cousin Miranda, Jimi seeks legal representation from Noah Sanders, a charismatic and driven employment attorney known for his noncommittal approach to romantic relationships.

Unbeknown to the world, Jimi has been engaging in late-night and early-morning virtual counseling to Noah, an only child, helping him cope with the sudden loss of his beloved immigrant single mother. These sessions turn risqué, with lots of flirting and teasing, soon pushing their friendship into uncharted territory.

When they meet in Atlanta to finalize Jimi’s settlement, the undeniable chemistry between them ignites feelings Jimi thought died with her husband. Noah and Jimi’s connection deepens in Las Vegas, where an encounter with Noah’s past thrusts them into an unexpected weekend of illicit passion and desire with long-lasting consequences.

As thirty-something-year-old Jimi and Noah return to their lives in Alabama and Ohio, respectively, they must grapple with their burgeoning attraction and unresolved grief. Their journey is fraught with challenges—Jimi’s struggle to move beyond her wounds and fear, Noah’s ambition and the haunting memories of his mother’s expectations, and the physical distance and cultural differences that threaten to tear them apart.

Can Jimi and Noah recover from grief to achieve their personal and professional dreams, or will the ghosts of their pasts pull them deeper into despair? As they stand at the crossroads of love and loss, will their hearts find the courage to seek the happiness they both deserve?

"I fell in love with this story after the first chapter. This isn't your typical Black romance story. I loved the maturity that was throughout this story. Just the right amount of drama and steaminess between Miranda and Lucas. I'm excited to read more about this couple!!"
