Empty Hearts

by Sheila Claydon

Ex TV presenter Holly is struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life when she is offered the chance to travel to Moscow to research a new book. That she will also have to look after Dirk Van Allen’s five-year-old son, Peter, seems a small price to pay until she meets him and his father.


Locked into a mutually miserable world they both make her life difficult. Determined to find a way into Peter’s stony little heart, Holly decides that softening his father’s attitude towards her might help. It is only when Dirk sees through her ploy and starts to play her at her own game that she realizes she is way out of her depth.

About the author

Although she was born and educated on the south coast of England, life choices have gradually moved Sheila Claydon and her family northwards across the UK. At present she is lucky enough to live on a stunning stretch of wild coastline in the northwest of the country where she finds walking her dog an enjoyable if necessary counterweight to the sedentary life of a writer.

Interspersed with her writing is a long and varied career in health, education and employment and she likes to think she is a better writer because of those experiences. She also admits that a few of her heavily disguised characters are based on people she has met or worked with in the past.
