Heartless by Elsie Silver (Paperback)

Heartless follows a single father focused on his son, his work, and the quiet routine that keeps life steady. When he hires a live-in nanny to help during a busy season, the change brings new energy into his home. She is warm, open, and determined to support the household while proving herself capable.

Their early days together are shaped by trust, patience, and the challenges of blending two lives. His guarded nature comes from past hurt, and opening up does not come easily. Her kindness fits naturally into the family, bringing comfort without forcing change. As they spend more time together, shared moments shift into deeper feelings.

The story explores the balance between responsibility and desire. He must protect his son while learning that building a future can include new connections. She must decide how to navigate the emotions that grow from working closely with a man still healing.

Family scenes, quiet conversations, and steady progress keep the romance grounded. Chestnut Springs remains at the heart of the story, offering a supportive backdrop of neighbours, friends, and returning characters from the first book.

Heartless focuses on emotional honesty, family, and choosing to move forward after loss, creating a romance built on trust and care.
