Lacey Littleton swore she'd never go back to Miller, TX. Yet guilt after her father's death forces her to put her career on hold to work in the small town newspaper. It just isn't fair. And then to make matters worse, she has to take over the sports beat even though she has always hated high school sports.
Eric Rightman hopes the memories of a personal tragedy might finally fade with his new job as the head basketball coach at Miller High School. But inheriting a losing basketball program causes him to instill a new philosophy in the team that reaches far beyond their play on the court as well as stirs up a possible romance with the town’s sports reporter.
Will the pain and guilt Lacey feels over her dark past keep her from falling in love with Eric? Will he let go of his own pain to risk falling in love again?
Desires of the Heart is a story of love and forgiveness. It demonstrates how God uses our past failures to teach us that His love transcends a painful past not only to forgive, but to restore lives to a new hope and joy.
