Summary from Goodreads:
Samantha
Marie Ramsden has three brothers. Craig, John and Matt. When tragedy strikes
their family, Craig takes on the task of becoming his siblings legal guardian.
It’s hard enough being someone’s guardian, but when you’ve only recently
entered adulthood yourself it’s almost impossible to know where to draw the
line between sibling and ‘parent’.
This
is made even harder on him when Sam starts to get close to a long time friend,
Jason. It looks like their friendship could turn into something more. An idea
that Craig has never been too happy with. Spanning six years, My Heart is Yours
explores family, friendship, love and much more. As well as asking the
question: Would you defy family for love?
“Hey!”
John’s voice echoed through the house. “Damn it!”
Sam grinned to herself; John did the same thing
every time he got home from work. He’d swing open the door, scream “Hey!” then stub his toe on the dark brown wooden coffee table and curse
under his breathe. He’d done the same thing every weekend since Sam
was fourteen. That’s when he got his part time job at the deli
about four blocks away from their house. He kept half of his pay; the other
half went to paying the bills.
“What are you doin’?” Matt asked as he walked into their small kitchen/dining room.
“Craig
and I are making dinner. Which means you and John get to do the dishes.”
Matt’s face fell into
a frown, doing dishes was his least favorite chore. His baby fat hadn’t all gone away yet, so his face still had that slightly round shape.
Matt was a little more pale than the rest of them. His eyes were sky blue and
thoughtful. The eyes of a dreamer. He had light brown hair with dirty blonde
highlights; it was a little long. When their mom was still alive she would
always beg him to get it cut. (He rarely did).
“Hey,
baby sis!” John
said as his slightly tan hand messed up Sam’s hair. Sam
grinned an amused and frustrated grin. “Baby sis”,
that’s what John always called her. Even though she constantly reminded him
he was only about a year older than her.
