ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 11, 2025

Liam

The heart is fickle. One day, you love something or someone, and then the next, they destroy you with their lies, and that love disappears.

I’m over the lies and the deceit. So, I tell my wife I want a divorce, only to find out she’s fighting for her life, against a disease that doesn’t like to lose. What kind of man would I be if I went through with ending our marriage knowing she’s sick?

So, I stay. I raise our daughter, and I’m there to help her when she needs me. Her best friend, Aurora, is there too, which becomes a problem because Aurora is everything my ex isn’t, and with each passing day, I fall harder for her, and my guilt for those feelings grows.

Aurora

When Hope told me about her diagnosis, I wanted to do anything I could to help her through this. I vowed to be there for her, to help in any way I could.

I jumped in to help with Winnie and picked up the slack where Liam couldn’t. With each day, we watched her condition worsen. I spent more time with them, mostly Liam and me, and in time, we grew to be good friends. After we lost Hope to her illness, the friendship I thought I had found in Liam was destroyed when he pushed me away with words that cut to the core.

When Liam reaches out to heal the wound between us, we begin to grow close again, and I can admit to myself that my feelings for Liam go far beyond simple friendship. When Liam shares the biggest secret of his life with me, and the truth about his relationship with Hope comes to life, everything changes between us. His guilt will not let him fully move on with his life.

How can I convince him that if he’d let me, I’d love him and his daughter for eternity? I’d give him this heart with no regrets.

REVIEW:THIS HEART is the fourth and final instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult MOOSE VILLAGE erotic, romance series. This is bar owner and single father Liam Turner, and book store owner Aurora Banks’ story line. THIS HEART can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Liam and Aurora) THIS HEART follows several months after the death of Liam’s wife Hope, and the destruction of a friendship in the wake of secrets and lies. Several months earlier, Liam’s wife Hope succumbed to cancer, leaving behind her two year old daughter, and a husband struggling to move on with his life but the fall-out of his friendship with Aurora Banks sat the heaviest upon on the heart of our story line hero. As Hope’s illness progressed, Liam was struggling with his attraction to Aurora Banks, and in the end pushed away the woman with whom he would fall in love. Desperate for childcare, Liam asks Aurora to help with finding a nanny, and the spiral of his decision will weight heavily on everyone involved.

The world building focuses one woman’s secrets; the lies buried with the dead, and a betrayal by another determined to take control.

The relationship between Aurora and Liam was best friends to enemies, to friends to lovers, a relationship destroyed by jealousy and illness. Liam has lusted after our story line heroine for as long as he can remember but life was about to spiral, and secrets from the past would threaten any hope for a future. The $ex scenes are seductive and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are familiar, energetic and engaging. We are reintroduced to all of the previous story lines couples, as well as Liam’s daughter Winnie, and nanny Kim Thompson.

THIS HEART is a story of secrets and lies, loss and guilt, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is captivating and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and dynamic.
