ABOUT THE BOOK

In a picturesque town just outside of Denver, where time seems to stand still, the sparks of forbidden love ignite. Josephine "Jo" Anderson, a sensual and wealthy widow, finds herself hopelessly drawn to the charismatic father of her son's fiance. Peter Garnet, a successful real estate mogul was not only off-limits but also much younger, creating a scandalous stir in their close-knit community from the minute they locked eyes.


As Jo finds herself unable to stop daydreaming about Peter's charm and undeniable physical allure, rumors about them begin to swirl among their neighbors, friends, and townsfolk. Gossip and judgment cast a shadow over their rapidly budding connection, threatening to tarnish their reputations and impact their children, who are unknowingly entangled in the web of scandal. Nonetheless, the magnetic pull between Jo and Peter grows stronger with an undeniable desire that leaves them both weak and breathless.


But before this hidden love affair began, Jo's late husband (and high school sweetheart) Dale and their son Michael had shared a bond that was irreplaceable. However, Michael, a recent college graduate ready to set the world on fire, is also enticed into the world of Peter Garnet, Danielle's successful father. Convinced to work with Peter at his national real estate franchise company, "Garnet Realty Inc.," Michael has now been whisked away into a new life, miles apart from Jo, just when she feels they should be cherishing their time together.


"Tempted Hearts: Love Beyond Time" explores the forbidden passion between Jo and Peter, a love that defies age and convention. Can they resist the magnetic pull drawing them together, or will society's judgment tear them apart? Their love story unfolds in the small, cozy town, where secrets are hard to keep, setting hearts ablaze and challenging the boundaries of age and desire.
