She rescues wildlife. She trusts ropes. She never expected to fall for a woman who climbs without them.

Narrated by two-time Earphones Award winner Abby Craden, Exposed Hearts is an emotionally charged steamy slow-burn lesbian romance where every step closer to love feels like the greatest risk of all.

Frankie Martinez spends her days rescuing injured wildlife, teaching children about nature, and volunteering with the Elk Ridge Search and Rescue team. After a devastating breakup, she's convinced she's finally putting her life back together. The last thing she needs is another woman turning her world upside down.

Bridge spends her life climbing without ropes. Every route demands absolute focus, complete trust in herself, and the willingness to accept the consequences of every decision. Falling in love was never part of the climb.

When a chance meeting on a Colorado mountainside throws them together, the attraction is immediate... and completely inconvenient.

Frankie believes everyone deserves a safety rope.

Bridge has spent her life proving she doesn't need one.

As sparks become something impossible to ignore, both women must decide whether the greatest leap they'll ever take isn't on a mountainside, but into each other's arms.

Along the way, a scruffy stray terrier steals Frankie's heart, the ever-growing Healing Hearts family return with plenty of laughter and support, and love proves that sometimes the hardest thing isn't climbing a mountain......it's letting someone catch you when you fall.
