Peace of My Heart: Her Escape Was Just the Beginning

How far would you go to escape? And what if leaving isn’t enough?

In 1948 Salem, Tennessee, Harper Tuttle Crenshaw is a woman with no way out. Trapped in a brutal marriage to Gabriel Crenshaw-heir to a powerful and untouchable family-she’s learned that while the law allows her to leave, it won’t protect her when she does. Gabriel has promised to hunt her down, simply because he can.

Desperate, Harper takes matters into her own hands. She vanishes, fleeing to the rugged wilderness of Idaho, where she sets a dangerous trap. Luring Gabriel to a final, fateful confrontation, she risks everything to break free. But the cost of freedom is higher than she ever imagined.

Returning to Tennessee, Harper hopes to start over-but someone is watching. Someone who knows what she’s done. And someone who wants her dead.

With enemies closing in, Harper must summon every ounce of courage to survive. Fueled by rage-not just at her husband, but at a system that failed her-she refuses to go down without a fight. But in a world where power protects the guilty, will her defiance be enough?

Set against the evocative backdrop of post-war America, Peace of My Heart is a taut, gripping novel about resilience, justice, and the steep price of freedom. Perfect for readers who crave high-stakes tension and fearless heroines, this story lingers long after the final page.
