Featuring music from "Swear and Shake" with haunting vocals from Kari Spieler, "The Artisan Heart" trailer showcases the mood and the romance of Dean's long awaited return to his romantic roots in a tender story of damaged hearts and second chances.
Hayden Luschcombe is a brilliant paediatrician living in Adelaide with his wife, Bernadette, an ambitious event planner. His life consists of soul-wrenching days at the hospital and tedious evenings attending the lavish parties organized by Bernadette.
When an act of betrayal coincides with a traumatic confrontation, Hayden flees Adelaide, his life in ruins. His destination is Walhalla, nestled in Australia’s southern mountains, where he finds his childhood home falling apart. With nothing to return to, he stays, and begins to pick up the pieces of his life by fixing up the house his parents left behind.
Isabelle Sampi is a struggling artisan baker raising her hearing-impaired daughter, and has no time for matters of the heart. Yet the presence of the handsome doctor challenges her resolve. Likewise, Hayden, protective of his fractured heart, finds something in Isabelle that awakens dormant feelings of his own.
As their attraction grows, and the past threatens their chance at happiness, both Hayden and Isabelle will have to confront long-buried truths if they are ever to embrace a future.

Love the idea of such a gorgeous setting being featured in one of your books Dean!
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds very intriguing with several ups and downs - traumatic confrontation...fleeing Adelaide...fixing up his parent house...meeting Isabelle but the past threatening...
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in the past? What does Isabelle find challenging in her resolve? I’m intrigued to know what inspired the story. Perhaps the past can come back to show us that the simple things in life are what matters. I shall just have to read the book. Look forward to buying the hard copy if your doing a author signing in Dymock Adelaide. That’s more than 25 words but I’ll get the back in any case :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to The Artisan Heart because I love all of your work and the premise of this book has me wanting more.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read The Artisan Heart. I have read all of your other work and absolutely loved them. The preview of this book makes me want more.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued because it is set in Adelaide and i love read about my home city!
