Finn Brooks, a 27-year-old happy-go-lucky country boy, seeks a career opportunity in New York City, but fails utterly and ends up living out of his van.

Finn applies for a job as a busboy to get close to his secret crush, Carter Townsend, a 34-year-old timid restaurateur. Little does Finn know that Carter locks his heart in a fortress as a result of a vicious betrayal by his former lover.

Carter left that life behind and returned home to manage a small and charming family restaurant, Nanna’s Creole Cookery, where he dives headfirst into work, aiming to restore the restaurant to its former glory when his grandfather was alive.

Despite Carter’s single-minded purpose, Finn distracts him, makes him laugh, and warms his heart. When Finn reveals his cooking talent, he becomes even more invaluable to Carter.

Everything seems to fall into place, except for one problem—Carter is a man of principle and will never date his employee!

As Finn and Carter dance around each other, a threat comes from the unlikeliest place. Finn’s best friend, who loves him unrequitedly, will stop at nothing to sabotage their budding romance.

Where Hearts Yearn is a heartwarming, slow-burn, gay romance with a happy ending. This swoon-worthy page-turner will make you want to curl up with a cozy blanket and sip hot chocolate while binging it cover to cover.

This third installment of the Like Rain series can be enjoyed as a standalone or chronologically.
