Roaring Hearts

Two loves, two possible endings, two different lives. Which one will people remember as her happiest?

Chicago, 1925. On a frosty New Year's Eve, Arabella Van Courteney, the twenty-two years old heiress of an oil empire, seeks solace in the shadows of a glittering masquerade ball, nursing the wounds of her broken heart.
And there, she meets Solomon Willoughby, the young, nineteen-year-old ambitious protégé of the enigmatic socialite Augustine Bonacci. Bound to a world of illicit deals and danger for his mentor, his charm pulls Arabella into an intoxicating connection, the chemistry between them undeniable.
But fate pulls them apart before they can truly begin.

Chicago, 1931. Six years later, Arabella is now happily married, living in New York, and thriving in the world of art and publishing. She has convinced herself that the past-and Solomon-are nothing more than distant memories. But when the New Year's gathering reunites them back in Chicago, long-buried emotions resurface, forcing Arabella to question everything she thought she wanted.

Roaring Hearts is a tale of forbidden love, betrayal, failed expectations, and the enduring power of second chances.
But with a twist: why force Arabella to choose? Why not give two perfect love stories, two equally right choices, two bittersweet endings but nonetheless real as life is?
Here, the what if has an answer.
