In The Desire of Your Heart, the first book in the Holden Hearts series, Vincent Hurley is a 42-year-old teacher at St. Edmund’s Catholic school in rural Wiltshire. His life is peaceful and fulfilling, but one question remains: should he join the Abbey as a brother? When Yvette Stanhope, a woman haunted by her past, takes a teaching job at St. Edmund’s, she finds solace in the familiar surroundings—though she never expects the reawakening of feelings for Vincent, her former teacher. What starts as a schoolgirl crush soon ignites a passionate tension, but Vincent, a man of deep faith, finds himself torn between his beliefs and the attraction he feels for Yvette. As their relationship develops, Vincent must decide if his faith can guide Yvette back to her heavenly Father, while Yvette must confront her painful past before it threatens everything they’ve built. A compelling story of love, faith, and redemption set in the 21st century, The Desire of Your Heart explores the transformative power of forgiveness and unconditional love.
