Inherited Hearts
A Slow-Burn Contemporary Romance
Some stories don’t begin with a choice.
They begin with what we inherit.
When the past resurfaces in unexpected ways, it forces old truths into the light and challenges the life carefully built in their wake. Set against the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, Inherited Hearts is a character-driven, slow-burn romance shaped by legacy, belonging, and the quiet pull of a life not yet fully claimed.
An extraordinary inheritance draws Lara Bennett to Scotland—and into a world of history, obligation, and unspoken expectation. A temporary fake engagement offers a practical solution. What it awakens is anything but.
With emotionally layered characters, quiet wit, and a strong sense of place, Inherited Hearts explores found family, resilience, and the fragile space between who we were and who we’re brave enough to become.
Perfect for readers who love heartfelt, emotionally grounded romance where love feels earned, the setting lingers, and nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems.
