Author: Darcy Flynn

Darcy Flynn is the pen name used by Joy Dent for sweet contemporary romance novels built around small communities, family ties, and second chances. Keeper of My Heart centres on Katie McCullough and Max Sawyer, whose conflict begins when Max outbids Katie for a lighthouse property she hoped to make her home. Katie does not initially know that he is also the sailor she met years earlier, while Max’s plans for the property differ from the resort development she fears. The resulting story combines mistaken assumptions, a coastal setting, and the gradual recovery of an earlier connection. Flynn’s media biography identifies Keeper of My Heart among a larger list that includes Rogue’s Son, Stowaway, Flight Time, and the Like No Other books. She lives on a horse farm in Tennessee and presents her work as emotionally warm romance rather than darker suspense. The novel’s lighthouse and community give the relationship a sense of place, while the concealed identity turns an argument over land into a test of trust and memory.
