Stealing Stacey's Heart: An unputdownable, feel-good sweet romance
A theatre that is falling apart. A man with a vision. A woman with a dream. And the most unlikely relationship ever.
For heritage researcher, Stacey Sutherland, the once glorious St George Theatre means everything. It was where she grew up. It was where she felt a sense of belonging. It was the place that saw her embark on a career in heritage. But there is a problem. The St George has declined to the point where no-one would ever invest a cent to restore it, and the new owner, businessman Jonathan Harte, is no exception.
Jonathan Harte has built his company up from scratch and while he avoids the media, he quickly learns that the passion surrounding the decrepit theatre is something else. No-one in their right mind would spend the fortune needed to repair what should have been bowled over years ago, and everyone knows it. Even the supporters of the St George know that they are on the losing end of the battle. The theatre, despite its history and its reputation, must go, and Jonathan is determined to make sure there is nothing standing in the way. He needs the best person to write the final report on the old building: someone who is as passionate about saving the old theatre as he is in bowling it. Someone who will uncover anything to find that will prevent his development from going ahead. That person is heritage researcher, Stacey Sutherland.
Only it doesn’t go to plan. Because when he and Stacey are implicated in a fire at the theatre, and when Stacey becomes the target of the people who were once her friends in the heritage world, Jonathan vows to protect her so she can focus on the work at hand: finishing up the report giving him the go-ahead. Only he never expected to find himself feeling this protective over Stacey and even more, feeling the one thing he has vowed never to feel again: love. And even more, love for the woman who could scuttle his plans.
And Stacey never expects to find that the man she has put up there with the devil himself is far from it and that he might in fact be the perfect man she never knew she was looking for as her heart slowly opens to the last man on earth she envisaged falling for.
A gorgeous, feel-good story that will bring hope to your heart and a smile to your lips, with emotion, dashes of humour and a splash of intrigue. There are no love scenes in this story. Stealing Stacey’s Heart is part of the City of Sails series and can be read as a stand-alone, but you’ll love the other books in the series, stories that celebrate family, friends, and love.
