Heart

When Aki Williams dreams of a sister she never knew existed, she follows that vision from Los Angeles to rural Illinois. Instead of focusing on her prestigious new ophthalmology credentials, she finds herself face-to-face with Jack Camdon—a lesbian medicine woman whose Ojibwe spiritual practices and dream-walking abilities challenge everything Aki thought she knew about herself and her heritage.

Meanwhile, archaeology professor Carsyn Lyndon has spent three years rebuilding her life after losing both her parents and her wife in a single devastating accident. Despite her walls of grief and PTSD, when she meets Aki at her godson's birthday party, an undeniable attraction sparks between them—awakening desires in Aki she never anticipated and threatening the protective vows Carsyn made to herself.

As their connection deepens during a family camping trip, both women must confront impossible choices: Aki's unexpected sexual awakening and Carsyn's fear of loving again. When a sudden accident forces them together, they must decide if their powerful connection is worth risking everything they thought they knew about themselves.
