Just out of college and completely alone in the world, Maggie Montgomery has one shot left to save her life from an abyss of poverty and hopelessness. Clinging to the last shred of fuel and hope, she arrives at the mansion of Texas billionaire Conrad Ayer. Although Maggie is clearly not what Mr. Ayer and his wife have in mind for a nanny, they agree to hire her temporarily until they can find someone more appropriate to fill the position. However, Maggie's whole world is about to be up-ended by two way-over-scheduled children and one incredibly handsome hired hand. As she struggles to fit into a world she was never made to fit in, Maggie wonders if she can ever learn to become a perfect version of herself so she can keep the job, or is she doomed to always be searching for a life she can never quite grasp?

Keith Ayer despises his life. As the son of Texas billionaire Conrad Ayer and the fiance to a Senator from Texas' daughter, it looks great on the outside, but inside, he is dying. He would vastly prefer to manage and train his father's racehorses. However, everyone else thinks that is beneath him. He needs to get into industry and build on his father's success. Suffocating under the constrictions of his life, he meets Maggie who begins to teach him that wealth and power is not everything in this life. But can Keith defy the most powerful men in Texas to follow his heart?

One of the most inspiring Contemporary Christian Romance novels available, “Deep in the Heart” is an Amazon #1 Best Seller. It is truly Christian romance at its very best. Filled with faith, hope, and love, Christian romance kindle books aim to inspire women and men alike while giving them an exceptional romantic love story they will not soon forget. This is one book that will surely find its way onto your most inspirational books list!

"Staci Stallings means Christian fiction at its best!"

~*~ EXCERPT ~*~

Okay, there are certain things in this life a girl just shouldn’t have to deal with. Changing flat tires for instance. Radiators overheating, yes. A busted pipe. Programming the remote control. But being blindsided like that wasn’t fair at all. When the door closed between them, Maggie forced herself to breathe in a deep inhale. It did nothing at all to stop the swimming of her thoughts or the racing of her heart, but at that point anything was worth a try.

Showing up in the kitchen at breakfast for no reason was one thing. Showing up when she was in her oldest pajamas with the rip on one side was quite another. Her hand went up to her hair, and she raked her fingers through it extra hard. There was no telling how she looked, but how he looked? Wow, was he easy on the eyes. Not to even mention how heart-stoppingly handsome he was minus the hat and the bandana. Dark hair, cropped extra short, and that face, and that smile. Ugh. It just wasn’t fair.

She rolled her eyes so she was looking up at the ceiling in desperation. “God, listen to me. I do not need to fall for this guy. I don’t need him to keep showing up like this. Please. Please. I’m asking You…”

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Mybooks tend to run the gamut of sub-genres within the Christian/Inspirationalromance novel genre. Deep in the Heartis one of the more truly Christian romance novels I have available. This story has the characters going tochurch, complete with sermons, and praying. In Maggie's world, God is the only thing keeping her together. We don't get ten paragraphs into the storybefore she's praying, and truly she never really stops. God is in every way her best friend. He is Who she goes to when things are fallingapart around her. So if you like a lotof Christian in your romance novels, this is the book for you. However, be aware that Keith is a pretty lostand worldly soul. He is not perfect, andit's only Maggie's love and prayers that bring him back from the brink of lifeof misery. These are real-to-lifecharacters with real problems and character flaws, but at every turn, they aresearching for God and learning to put their faith in Him. Deep in the Heart is truly a memorable Contemporary Christian Romance Novel.

I loved it, but probably not for everyone

April 19, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have had the joy of reading 3 of Stacy Stallings books over the last few months. I have found each to be creative, interesting, and engaging. I plan to make my way through most of her novels. There aren't as many talented authors in the Christian Fiction genre and I'm happy to see the author emerging as one of my favorites. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. This is a story of real people, with burdensome life experiences and what each chooses to make of their lives. I love reading a book with a main character who is such a strong person, loving, kind, and gracious. I also enjoyed seeing God transform the lives of the others in this book.

That being said, I do want to say that I don't believe this book would be for everyone. If you aren't already a Christian, I think you would find the approach to faith to be heavy handed. I say this because some of the authors other novels are a bit softer in their approach and I think you would enjoy them and grow by reading them regardless of your faith. This book is a lot more outspoken in faith messages. It screams what it is to be a Christian. For me, I loved that about it. I am mentioning this because I think there are christian fiction novels that are written in such a way that you could hand them off to somoene else and they'd be a great tool for witnessing because it's not hitting you over the head with it. I don't think this is one of those books.

Would I give this to a young adult? Probably but only with conversation. This book has some deep themes and the description of the "hero's" lifestyle before faith is such that I think it would require conversation.

Overall, if you are into Christian Fiction...I say "Two Thumbs Up"

An excellent Christian Romance written with lots of heart

June 16, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is what a romance novel should be. While it is heavily laden with Christian prayers and a few sermons, it is written with such emotion. It took me on a rollercoaster ride of feelings and even made me cry. That is probably the highest praise I can give an author. Staci Stallings is absolutely amazing at what she does.

Maggie is a doll. Even though she has absolutely nothing, and realizes she doesn’t fit into this world of money and power, she does her absolute best. All the while, she’s asking God for guidance and help.

Keith is a walking contradiction. All he wants is to work with his father’s racehorses, but he also has to be the son of a billionaire. He puts aside what he wants more than anything in an attempt to make his father proud of him.

I could go on for ages about how wonderful this book was and never do it justice. Staci Stallings has an amazing gift. Every person she introduces the reader to is brought to life. With a few words, the reader is transported to walks through tree-shaded lanes, horseback riding, to sitting beside a waterfall. The reader feels each emotion Maggie and Keith go through. When introduced to Dallas, Keith’s fiancé, the reader knows right away she’s had a privileged upbringing and fully expects it to continue without Staci Stallings saying anything about it. She has definitely perfected the axiom “Show, don’t tell.”

As I mentioned above, there are a few sermons in the book. Maggie goes to church with her two young charges, and instead of glossing over the time, Staci Stallings uses that time to impart a few excellent messages. Each one reached out and grabbed me. I can’t help but believe the three sermons she includes in this book can be applied to anyone.

For anyone who likes Christian romance, I’d fling this book at them in a heartbeat. As such, I’m looking forward to reading more books by Staci Stallings in the future. I’m positive they will be just as well-written and engaging as this book was.

I Loved Deep in the Heart

March 19, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What does forgiveness have to do with hurt, anger and scars from the past too ugly to be revealed? How can love wrap itself around grudges, secrets and the quest for monetary wealth until it's the only thing that matters? Searching only for a job and a roof over her head, Maggie shows up at the door of the Ayers mansion alone, penniless and utterly dependent upon the mercy of the rich family too concerned about their own fortune to have compassion on such a thing as a human soul. How could they know that their lavish quest for worldly goods and social status is about to come crashing down around them at the selfless love and kindness of the lowly woman hired as their nanny?
Deep in the Heart is a gut-wrenching, tear-jerking story of forbidden yet undeniable romance between the one who has it all and the one who has nothing. And yet, which is which? Is it Keith, the handsome son of one of the richest men in Texas with racehorses to tend, a beautiful fiancée on his arm and a future of wealth and power at his fingertips? Or could it be Maggie, the girl with no money, no family, no home and yet possesses a heart of peace and fulfillment, brimming with love for others and for her God?
Once again, Staci reaches `deep in her heart' to spill emotion onto the pages that pulls you into her story with a grasp that will not let go. Your heart will ache along with Maggie as she falls hopelessly in love with the man she can never have and along with Keith as he seeks to fill the void in his heart with things that can never satisfy. What twist of irony awaits Keith and Maggie that causes their pasts to collide with their futures in a way they never could have predicted?
Deep in the Heart is Staci Stallings at her finest. The memory of the anguish and joy poured out by her pen will remain in your heart long after the final page has been turned.
