Stealing Stacey's Heart
(2023)(The fifth book in the City of Sails Romance series)
A novel by Joanne Hill
A gorgeous, feel-good story that will bring hope to your heart and a smile to your lips, with emotion, dashes of humour and a splash of intrigue.
A theatre that is falling apart. A man with a vision. A woman with a dream. And the most unlikely relationship ever.
To Stacey Sutherland, the once glorious St George Theatre means everything. It was where she grew up. It was where she embraced a sense of belonging. It was the place that inspired her career in heritage. But there is a problem. The St George has declined to the point where no-one will invest a cent restoring it, and new owner, businessman Jonathan Harte, is no exception.
A self-made success story, Jonathan Harte is the kind of man who avoids media and gossip, and gets things done. But he quickly learns that the passion surrounding the decrepit St George is in its own league, despite no-one in their right mind spending the fortune needed to repair what should have been bowled over years ago. Everyone knows it. Even the supporters of the St George know they’re on the losing end of the battle. The theatre must go, and Jonathan is determined to make sure nothing stands in the way. So when he decides to commission a final report on the building, who better to write it than someone as passionate about saving the old theatre as he is in bowling it. Someone who will not leave any stone unturned in their research and give him the clarity to proceed. That person is heritage researcher, Stacey Sutherland.
Only it doesn’t go to plan. Because when he and Stacey are implicated in a fire at the theatre, and when Stacey becomes the target of people who were once her friends in the heritage world, Jonathan must protect her so she can focus on the work at hand: finishing up the report to deadline. Only he never expected to find himself feeling this protective over Stacey and even more, feeling the one thing he has vowed never to feel again: love.
And Stacey never expects to find that the man she has aligned to the devil himself is far from it, and that he might in fact be the perfect man she never knew she was looking for, as her heart slowly opens to the last man on earth she envisaged falling in love with.
