Heartless Author: Elsie Silver

Heartless by Elsie Silver is a heartfelt slow-burn romance that captures the emotional tension and irresistible chemistry between two deeply contrasting characters. As part of Silver’s Chestnut Springs series, the novel blends rural charm with steamy romance, exploring how love can bloom even in the most unexpected arrangements.

The story centers on:

Cade Eaton, a brooding single father and rancher devoted to his young son and family legacy

Willa Grant, a vibrant and quirky nanny hired for a short-term contract who arrives with color, chaos, and undeniable charisma

Their relationship begins as a practical solution, but the emotional walls Cade has carefully built begin to crumble under Willa’s warmth and unpredictability. Packed with flirtation, family scenes, small-town dynamics, and plenty of longing glances, Heartless explores themes of:

Healing from emotional wounds

Trusting love after heartbreak

Balancing independence with connection

Navigating boundaries in unconventional relationships

The cover—with a soft illustration of a cowboy hat, guitar, and blooming flowers—perfectly sets the tone for this emotionally rich and tender love story. A quote at the top teases the tug-of-war between duty and desire: “My contract is for two months… But, my heart says this is forever.”

Perfect for fans of single-dad tropes, swoon-worthy banter, and emotionally satisfying romance arcs, Heartless offers both spice and sincerity—ideal for cozy reading with plenty of heart.
