Heart

Washington power broker Courtney Holloman has it all—wealth, influence, and a corner office with a view. What she doesn’t have is time. Between client meetings and Capitol Hill appearances, there’s barely room to breathe, let alone remember the small-town girl she once was. But when her third glass of bourbon can’t drown the memories of what she left behind, Courtney knows something’s missing. Jack Camdon finds peace in the hum of her beehives and the ancient Ojibwe healing practices passed down through generations.

When Aki Williams dreams of a sister she never knew existed, she follows that vision from Los Angeles to rural Illinois. Instead of focusing on her prestigious new ophthalmology credentials, she finds herself face-to-face with Jack Camdon—a lesbian medicine woman whose Ojibwe spiritual practices and dream-walking abilities challenge everything Aki thought she knew about herself and her heritage. Meanwhile, archaeology professor Carsyn Lyndon has spent three years rebuilding her life after losing both her parents and her wife in a single devastating accident.
