Matters Of The Heart

When Love Turns to Fear, Can the Heart Still Find Its Way?

Matters of the Heart by internationally bestselling author Danielle Steel, published by Corgi in 2010, is a gripping tale of love, illusion, and resilience. With her trademark emotional depth and storytelling elegance, Steel explores the fine line between romance and danger.

Hope Dunne is a successful photographer with a quiet life in New York and a past she’s made peace with. When she meets the acclaimed writer Finn O’Neill, her world is turned upside down. Charismatic, intelligent, and impossibly charming, Finn sweeps her into a passionate romance that feels too perfect to be real.

But perfection soon reveals its shadows. As cracks begin to show in Finn’s façade, Hope finds herself caught in a web of manipulation and fear. Stranded in his isolated Irish estate, she must summon the strength to face the truth—and reclaim her freedom, body and soul.

Matters of the Heart is a hauntingly powerful novel that delves into the complexities of trust, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to walk away. Danielle Steel delivers a page-turner that is as emotionally rich as it is suspenseful—an unforgettable journey into the darker side of love.
