The Heart of the Story
Two lives collide within the walls of a house that was always meant to belong to him.
Thomas Everley has lost everything—his family’s fortune, his home, and the father who once held their world together.
Jane Harwood arrives in that same house, carrying whispers of a family with secrets best left buried.
Their first encounter is anything but gentle, yet something in the charged air between them refuses to be ignored.
What begins as wary curiosity slowly unfolds into an unexpected bond—one neither of them can afford to want.
But as desire tangles with trust, the past begins to stir.
The truth—about their families, their choices, and the house that binds them—threatens to unravel everything they’ve built.
Some hearts are made to heal. Others are made to break.
Only time will tell which kind they are.
Meet Thomas & Jane —Character Intro
Jane Harwood

Jane Harwood is not the kind of woman people notice — or so the world would have her believe.
Conceived as a last, desperate attempt to produce an heir after the death of their only son and heir, John, Jane’s birth marked a crushing disappointment — a girl, where there should have been a boy.
The Harwoods were a family with secrets best left buried — whispers of misdeeds and debts that lingered behind closed doors. From her first breath, she bore the silent blame for all her family had lost.
As a child, Jane was quiet, shy, and full of self-doubt — how could she be anything else when raised in a house where disappointment was a constant companion? In the shadow of her family’s grief, she learned to shrink, to make herself small in a world that had no place for her.
But there is more to Jane than what the world chooses to see.
Behind the plain exterior lies a sharp mind, a restless curiosity, and a heart that refuses to be hardened — even in a household that has done everything to shape her into something small.
And when fate brings her to Everley House, Jane will discover that even those born to be overlooked can hold the power to unravel the past… or rewrite the future.
