A workaholic is faced with striving for the one goal she never wanted: love.
Campbell Andrews despises exactly three things in life: incompetence, tardiness, and love stories. Making partner at her law firm at thirty-four, she has no time for anything or anyone else. And certainly no respect for those who choose love over work. That is, until she wakes up in Heart Springs—her own personal hell.
The good news? She’s not dead. She’s been magically transported to a small town straight out of the Hallmark channel, complete with a meddling mayor, seasonal festivals, and friendly townsfolk. Cam can’t stand it, but in order to make it back to her real life, she has to fulfill three tasks . . . foremost among them, experience true love. It seems impossible. But anything’s possible with a change of heart.

"If you think Ballard’s Change of Heart sounds like Schmigadoon or Pleasantville, you wouldn’t be wrong. But Heart Springs has a distinctly Hallmark style, complete with various misadventures as Cam tries different jobs—and different men—to find the ones that fit just right. A self-aware heroine, Cam sharply picks apart the well-worn tropes she finds herself living. But as Cam learns to find the charm in them, we do as well. And there is quite a lot of charm, not just in our frank, snarky heroine but in her love interest, Ben."

— Erin La Rosa, author of The Backtrack"Full of her signature charm, steam, and laugh-out-loud moments, Falon Ballard’s newest fully delivers. Change of Heart is perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to see the big-city Hallmark villain rewrite the narrative and become the unexpected heroine of her own story. I devoured this in a single, delicious sitting!Cam is a spiky, deliberately hard-to-love character at first, and it’s both fun and satisfying to see her realize that human connections and meaningful work can be even more important than chasing someone else’s definition of success. Ballard creates a delightful world in Heart Springs and an ideal romance hero in Ben. An entertaining and offbeat romance that balances magic, humor, and heart.
