With This Heart — Dakota Trace

A gifted student, Paisley Dawson, is close to having her doctorate and becoming one of the youngest graduates her university has ever seen. Then the worse happens or best depending on your point of view. She's falls for her new intern professor, Kaleb Bryant - a black man who while extremely intelligent also still owes his country several years of service. As she falls deeper under Kaleb's spell, he's called back up for a six month tour in the Middle East, leaving Paisley alone - defenseless against his family and over six months pregnant by the time he returns. Things come to a head when a well-meaning relative confronts Paisley at school, spreading lies about Kaleb. Will Kaleb be able to over come the damage his family's prejudices against whites has done or will he lose Paisley and their unborn child because of them?
