But nothing in the Springs is as it seems. Beth is hiding secrets about her mysterious past with movie star Dawn Montgomery. Lea may only be out for her own gain and keeping Beth a prisoner in her own home. And the only person who might see the truth of the situation is adorably impulsive Maggie.

Reviews
“In”Heartwood,” Catherine’s second novel, she accomplishes something that’s a bit rare in lesbian fiction. She manages to throw some curves into the book that really kept me guessing. That’s difficult to do when you’re trying to get two characters positioned to live happily ever after, and I think she does it skillfully.”

“I found myself torn between rushing to the end and savouring every second, and I was a very happy reader by the end of the book. I loved Heartwood and highly recommend it. It’s not your typical lesbian romance, and that’s exactly why you should pick it up.”
