The Family Their Hearts Built
(2025)(The third book in the Hearts That Melted the Ice Trilogy series)
A novel by Stan Hendriks
Previously published as A Dark and Callous Soul: Family by Stan Hendriks.
Now husband and wife, Yua and Chris finally have the life they dreamed of. With their castle slowly rising and triplets on the way, everything feels wrapped in possibility. The love between them is stronger than ever—tested, forged, and tender in ways neither of them expected.
But the past doesn't vanish just because they've stepped into the light.
Chris walked away from a world built on violence and shadows, but that world isn't done with him yet. As new threats gather and old enemies resurface, the future they’ve built comes under fire. Yua clings to hope, fiercely protective of the happiness they’ve fought so hard to create.
For the first time, she’s scared that this might not end the way she dreamed.
They are no longer just two souls colliding in chaos. They’re a family now—with everything to lose and everything to protect.
Together, they’ve defied the odds before.
But will love be enough when the ghosts of Chris’s past refuse to stay buried?
Genre: Romantic Suspense
