Heartland: Book Three Firefighter Asim Bishara knows it's time to start living again. For years he's avoided dealing with his estrangement from his Muslim family and the loss of his first love in the 9/11 attack. Through therapy, Asim begins to heal and combat his own self-loathing. He's ready to leave his loneliness and isolation behind and find love again. Moving on is proving more difficult for Ángel Stanford. When Ángel's husband Zach died, Ángel's dreams of a home and family perished along with him. He always wanted to be a stay-at-home husband and father, but he never imagined he'd be raising Gracie alone. The closer he gets to the handsome firefighter-and the more Asim becomes a part of his and Gracie's life-the more Ángel feels like he's betraying Zach. Ángel has to give himself permission to be happy and realize that while nothing will ever replace the life he had before, the future for him and his daughter can be full of happiness… if he's willing to reach out and take it.
