| Braeden Landry is a brilliant but wary cardiac surgeon. Andrea Martin is a therapeutic dietician with a few secrets to hide. Sparks fly at their first meeting but it goes down hill from there. Andrea avoids Braeden because she doesn't need the added stress to her heart. She is hiding a serious health problem from her co-workers so they won’t treat her any differently .
Braeden notices Andrea’s attempts to avoid working around him though he can't figure out why. Braeden and Andrea work closer together to help cardiac patients understand the changes in their lives; Braeden and Andrea grow closer. When Andrea’s secret is revealed Braeden decides to back off since Andrea is not wanting to commit to a deeper relationship. The death of a patient and friend brings them back together and they delve into a more intimate relationship. Misunderstanding and fears shred any chance of happiness for Braeden and Andrea but consequences from their one night together are more complicated than they ever expected. Can Breaden realize that his future is with Andrea? Can Andrea let go of the hurt and fears to allow Braeden into her life? Be Still, My Heart! is a heart rending story of misunderstandings and the power of love. Carol McPhee creates an emotional tension in the story that doesn't diminish the power of her characters who are as strong willed as they are realistic. The reader is given a view into the life of a person with angina which only enhances the story. I think this is a romance that you will take pleasure in reading.
