Milford-Haven, California accumulates many individuals with
various ambitions and secrets. Zachary Calvin takes time from his
high power job to stop in the beautiful quiet town to become
immersed in a piece of art at a gallery. He becomes completely
taken by Miranda Jones and her paintings. Miranda comes from an
influential rich family and has broken off to pursue her dream of
painting, striving to come into her own person revealing the soul of
the animals she paints and the life she puts into her landscapes.
Zelda McIntyre is a voluptuous owner of Artist Representations in
Santa Barbara, and Miranda's rep, art buyer and a female who has
her eyes set on super rich Joseph Calvin, and father of Zach.
Samantha Hugo, director of Milford-Haven's Environmental
Planning Commission, is the former wife of Jack Sawyer, a
handsome but gruff contractor-builder, always stretching the
guidelines. Samantha and Jack are always at each other's throats
with different opinions, which can halt Jack's construction
attempts. But, Sam has a secret that could change Jack's life as
well as her own forever.
Christine Christian is a vivacious blonde with a penchant for
pursuing her special investigative talents for
Satellite TV. Joseph Calvin and Christine are romantically involved,
even though there is an age gap between them. Joseph is very
concerned that Christine has missed their romantic rendezvous and
missing now for some time, completely unlike the energetic female.
Visitors come and go to Milford-Haven, each with a story of their
own. Their lives intertwine and secrets are kept that can and will
change lives forever. WHAT THE HEART KNOWS is one of the Milford-
Haven series
with Mara Purl's line-up of sexy, and sometimes, eccentric
characters. The series will continue through five books, and I
imagine each will have its own line of unusual characters with their
extraordinary and peculiar circumstances. I think the key to this
series is to be sure and read them all or the reader is sure to miss
something vital.
The first book seems hanging at this point, and
only makes me want to read the next to complete that circle of lives
I've already read about. This author is a former soap opera
celebrity who has used her background talents to include an
abundance of thrilling mystery, suspense and romance throughout
her story. If this doesn't keep your mind working, nothing will!
Is the heart smarter than the head? Artist Miranda Jones begins to trust
her heart enough to escape from her life of privilege and start over in
Milford-Haven, the small town of undiscovered beauty on California's
Central Coast. She connects with environmentalist Samantha Hugo-a
brilliant PhD twenty years her senior who gave up a son years earlier;
and with restaurant owner Sally O'Mally who left Arkansas to create her
own dream.
Each woman wrestles with her own core issues while balancing demanding
careers with the attentions of interesting men. None is aware that
journalist Christine Christian has just been murdered while investigating
a half-built house.
Though the book stands alone, it is also Book 1 in the critically
acclaimed, popular series, a multi-generational saga. Based on Purl's BBC
Radio drama Milford-Haven U.S.A.
