Their love is against the laws of a merciless state--but the heart has its own power. For rollercoaster designer Theo, living on the edge is just part of the job. He's used to wandering the world perfecting thrills, his heart immune to commitment. But then a commission in repressive North Korea exposes him to emotions he's never dared to feel. Tour guide Min has a soul that wants to soar, but she knows it's safer to build walls around her heart and mind. Skilled in showcasing the mesmerising beauty of capital city Pyongyang without revealing its darker secrets, she introduces Theo to a country he will never forget--and begins to question her policy of quiet compliance. But forgetting--or pretending to--is the key to survival for Min's formidable grandmother Cuckoo. After a devastating heartbreak years ago, she learned that passion and oppression just don't mix. As Min and Theo grow closer and long-held secrets come to light, all three are forced to confront emotions they've tried to suppress. In a country where following their hearts will put them in danger, how much are they willing to risk?… (mer)

The Law of the Heart is a gripping, emotional, captivating and emotional novel – one of the best I’ve read in a long time!

Min is a tour guide in modern-day, Communist North Korea and is fully committed to representing her country in its best light. A true believer in the ideals of the regime and not one to question the status quo. Theo is an award-winning roller coaster designer looking for a change. When his boss asks him to take the job in North Korea, he is reluctant to say the least, but decides to go for it.

As a punishment for allowing some foreign tourists to behave in a “disrespectful” fashion on a tour, Min and her work partner are assigned to keep strict watch over Theo’s comings and goings from his hotel to the sight of the theme park where he is designing his coaster. Min and Theo inevitably get to know each other and, much to their surprise, each find in the other someone who understands them - their hopes, their dreams, their motivations. In a land where all foreigners are suspect, this is a love affair that is not allowed. Follow along with Min and Theo as they find each other – and find themselves – in a passion that cannot come to pass.

Filled with beautiful North Korean scenery, fascinating history, intriguing roller coaster design, and a story that you just want to sink right into. Put this one on your TBR and book club list today!
