There’s no absolution for the things I’ve done.

But I found a way to control my impulses.

I became a priest.

As Father Magnus Falke, I suppress my cravings. As the head teacher of a Catholic boarding school, I’m never tempted by a student.

Until Tinsley Constantine.

The bratty princess challenges my rules and awakens my dark nature. With each punishment I lash upon her, I want more. In my classroom, private rectory, and bent over my altar, I want all of her.

One touch risks everything I stand for. My faith. My redemption. And even my life.

As if that could stop me. I need her pain, and her heart, and she needs my lessons in sin.

Beau moved out to the country to get away from his abusive ex-husband, but raising an infant alone, with no support network, is lonely and exhausting. The last thing he expects is a helping hand from the neighbor whose dogs he complained about.

With each other and a protective Chihuahua for support, Mitchell, Beau, and Jessica could make a perfect family. Mitchell won’t let anything happen to them.

But who’s going to rescue him?

3)  I want to be able to visit friends in Florida

4)  Schedule a trip to Disney with my niece. 

5)  Since we haven’t bene able to do any of our regular entertaining, I’d love to be able to have a big summer party.

The dream cast for Heart and Home is surprisingly easy.   I had very specific images og these characters.

Alan – I think I would love to have him played by Jared Haibon.  But he would have to shave because when he grows a beard it looks awful.  However he has the cheek bones and intense eyes that speak to me as Alan.  

Haley – I think I’d like Nick Robinson.   Now that’s he’s grown up a little from Love Simon, I think he would be perfect for Haley.  He still has that innocent look that would really work.  

What would your dream cast be?
