Heavy On My Mind

by Mary Elizabeth Baker

About The Book

Some people chase love. Others fall right into it.

Sam Reynolds had everything—prestige, power, and a high-rise view of downtown Chicago to match his bachelor lifestyle. At 26, the rising star of one of the city’s top law firms wasn’t just admired—he was envied. He had no reason to slow down, no interest in settling down, and certainly no plans to fall in love.

Until a slip on Lake Shore Drive left him sprawled out and hurting—and a woman with violet-blue eyes stopped to help while the rest of the city ran past.

Ella Monroe, a compassionate nurse with no time for games, was everything Sam never saw coming. From the moment their eyes met, his world shifted. And he knew he’d do anything to win her heart—even if it meant letting go of the life he thought he wanted.

What begins with a sprained ankle becomes a journey of real connection, quiet moments, and unexpected vulnerability. And as Sam sheds his old ways, he learns that the best kind of love doesn’t need to be chased—it finds you when you least expect it.

Heavy On My Mind is a heart-melting modern romance about fate, second chances, and what happens when the right person stops for you at just the right time.
