A Haven for Her Heart

Upon her release from a woman’s reformatory in 1941 Toronto, Olivia Rosetti wants nothing more than to forget the horrors of her time there and return to normal. But with her family unwilling to
forgive and employers wary of hiring her, she quickly ends up desperate and homeless—until a chance encounter with well-to-do widow Ruth Bennington. The two discover they share a painful
history and together decide to open a maternity home for troubled women.
Greek widower Darius Reed is determined to protect his daughter from the prejudice that killed her mother and hopes to marry into a prominent Toronto family. But when his employer orders him to persuade Ruth Bennington to sell them her property, Darius soon becomes conflicted over his feelings about the home and his attraction to Olivia.
Despite finding fulfilment in her work, Olivia must fight not only bitter memories and the community’s negative reaction to their mission, but also feelings for the man who is trying to close her home. Can love prove stronger than prejudice and societal
pressures, or will past mistakes destroy her chance at true happiness?
