*** Rescuing Hearts 01 Abby Craden ***

Flight attendant Kristi has perfected the art of avoiding connections—one night stands in far-off cities are her specialty. But when she meets pediatric surgeon Fenna during a flight to Costa Rica, something shifts in her carefully guarded heart.

Their passionate encounter was supposed to be nothing more than a memory, until fate brings them together again and again. Despite Kristi’s determination to keep her distance, Fenna’s warmth and compassion begin to crack the walls she’s built around herself.

What Fenna doesn’t know is that Kristi carries a devastating secret—haunted by her family’s medical history, she’s terrified of offering someone a future she might not have. And just as Kristi begins to open up, tragedy strikes Fenna’s family, testing the fragile bond between them.

From high-altitude chance meetings to heartbreaking hospital corridors, their journey proves that sometimes the most broken hearts are the ones most worth rescuing. Will Kristi find the courage to embrace the love she deserves, or will fear rob them both of the chance at happiness?

*** Curious Hearts 02 Abby Craden ***

What if everything you thought you wanted was exactly what you didn’t need?

Investment banker Jessica Taylor has spent her entire life checking boxes: Ivy League education, corner office, London promotion pending. The last thing on her list is inheriting seven cats and a crumbling Victorian house from the great-aunt her family considered an embarrassment.

Dr. Ali Ritchie knows about starting over. After her own devastating breakdown, she’s rebuilt her life around healing wounded animals and keeping humans at arm’s length. But there’s something about the perfectly controlled banker slowly melting under the influence of seven demanding cats that makes Ali want to risk her carefully guarded heart.

As litter boxes replace boardrooms and cat hair ruins designer suits, Jessica discovers that some of life’s best gifts come with claws attached. But when the career opportunity she’s worked toward her entire life finally arrives, she’ll have to choose between the future she planned and the love she never saw coming.

Because sometimes the family you inherit is exactly the one you need.

*** Wild Hearts 03 Abby Craden ***

What happens when two ice queens collide and neither one melts first?

Narrated by two-time Earphones Award winner Abby Craden, Wild Hearts is a slow burn that earns every degree of its thaw.

Shannon McAllister runs search and rescue in the Colorado mountains with iron discipline and zero patience for small talk. She hasn’t let anyone close in five years. She feels everything, which is exactly the problem, so she’s made herself untouchable. It’s worked so far.

Tess Calder has been hired to decide whether Shannon’s job should exist. She’s the consultant nobody wants and everybody underestimates, a woman so tightly wound she colour-codes her panty drawer. Tess doesn’t do feelings. She does data. Data has never once looked at her the way Shannon McAllister looks at her when she thinks no one’s watching.

Two women who’ve perfected the art of arm’s length. One six-month audit that closes the distance whether they’re ready or not.

Then a wildfire tears through the mountains, taking every certainty they’ve clung to with it. Tess has a report to write that could end Shannon’s career or wreck her own. Shannon has to decide which terrifies her more: losing her job, or letting someone stay.

Meanwhile, Tess’s mother Colette has arrived uninvited, unpacked her crystals, discovered Tess’s most private possession, and set her sights on a captivating eighty-three-year-old grandmother named Yaya. You’ll either love her or want to lock her in a cupboard. Possibly both.

*** Exposed Hearts 04 Abby Craden ***

She rescues wildlife. She trusts ropes. She never expected to fall for a woman who climbs without them.

Narrated by two-time Earphones Award winner Abby Craden, Exposed Hearts is an emotionally charged steamy slow-burn lesbian romance where every step closer to love feels like the greatest risk of all.

Frankie Martinez spends her days rescuing injured wildlife, teaching children about nature, and volunteering with the Elk Ridge Search and Rescue team. After a devastating breakup, she’s convinced she’s finally putting her life back together. The last thing she needs is another woman turning her world upside down.

Bridge spends her life climbing without ropes. Every route demands absolute focus, complete trust in herself, and the willingness to accept the consequences of every decision. Falling in love was never part of the climb.

When a chance meeting on a Colorado mountainside throws them together, the attraction is immediate… and completely inconvenient.

Frankie believes everyone deserves a safety rope.

Bridge has spent her life proving she doesn’t need one.

As sparks become something impossible to ignore, both women must decide whether the greatest leap they’ll ever take isn’t on a mountainside, but into each other’s arms.

Along the way, a scruffy stray terrier steals Frankie’s heart, the ever-growing Healing Hearts family return with plenty of laughter and support, and love proves that sometimes the hardest thing isn’t climbing a mountain……it’s letting someone catch you when you fall.
