ARC copy w/ different cover

COURAGE OF THE HEART shows us that sometimes love is the only cure for the very deepest of emotional wounds. Adam Sherman has remained quiet about his scandalous past and is comfortable with his reputation as a womanizing and dedicated bachelor. He is an expert in the field of computers including programming, networking and hacking. At twenty-five years old, he is content with his management job at a local Internet Provider. Davie Prescott is twenty years old and a college student who is working part-time at the same Internet Provider where Adam is employed. She was raised in a very close knit family of aunts, uncles and cousins. She and her widowed father are very close. Adam is attracted to Davie, but he shys away from her innocence because he feels his shameful past is too harsh for her existence. Adam finally shares his darkest secret with Davie and is amazed to find that she doesn´t turn away from him. But when Adam's past catches up to him, he soon learns that there´s a lot more at stake than just his nightmares. Adam is prepared to give Davie up if need be in order to protect her until he learns that she´s got a secret of her own. With Davie´s help, Adam learns a courage that is born of love, courage of the heart. The story of the two lovers takes a series of unexpected and fast paced turns where lives, sanity and love are put in jeopardy. Their commitment to one another results in a spirit that binds them together and helps them to overcome physical and emotional dangers.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I started it thinking it was going to be a bit to fluffy for me, but though it was pretty "happily ever after" there was a lot of bumps in Davie & Adams' relationship along the way. The highlight of the book was way to rushed, IMHO. The storyline between the bad guys and Davie & Adam kept building and building and the entire storyline ended in a couple paragraphs and it felt very rushed and thrown together. This is an ARC copy, so hopefully the final copy will be tweeked a bit.
