Magic Hearts

by Renee Hand

Corinne McCathy was young, clever, and beautiful. Born with the magical power to heal, she hid her powers from all who could use her for evil. As she ran away from an arranged marriage and a man who wanted to harm her, she found solace and protection in the arms of the most unthinkable sort, a careless and cold-hearted philanderer named Lord Chastwick. When Lord Chastwick saw that Corinne had needed his help and protection, he offered it willingly, but he did not mean to offer her his heart. When her enemies were upon her, he saved her from them valiantly, only to find out the truth about her powers and the real reasons why her enemies were after her. Her betrayal shook the foundation of which his love was founded on, and when their happiness was to be determined by forgiveness, and when neither thought they could offer it, something happened that would change their lives forever.
