Swoon Romance
Bookish Brit Adam Gibson is one wonky heartbeat away from a fatal
arrhythmia. He's torn between wanting to live and knowing that someone else
must die in order for him to do so. He needs a new heart.
Adam stops talking to his friends, refuses to meet kids at his new
school, and shuts his parents out entirely. His days are spent wondering if can
cope with having a dead man's heart beating inside his chest, or if he should
surrender to the thoughts of suicide swirling around in his head.
And then a donor is found.
Outspoken artist Darby Fox rarely lets anything stand in her way
of achieving her goals. She also happens to be the twin sister to a perfect
brother with good looks, good grades, manners, and the approval of their
parents - something Darby has never had.
Darby's always had bad timing. She picks the worst time to argue
with her brother Daniel. In a car with bald tires, on an icy road in the
freezing cold, the unthinkable happens. In a split-second, everything changes
forever.
When life forces Adam and Darby together, undeniable sparks
fly, and a deep connection is made. But the secret inside of Adam may be the
thing that pushes them apart forever.
ADAM:
I clutch my well-worn paperback of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein close
to my heart. The doctor robbed graves, stealing body parts to create his
monster. I suppress a shiver. In a way, the transplant surgeon does the same
thing by harvesting a donor’s organs when they’re on the brink of death. If I
get prioritized on the list, I’ll be waiting for that poor victim to arrive.
Then I’ll steal his or her heart and with it, their life.
Then I’ll be the monster.
DARBY:
Images blur on a merry-go-round from Hell that spins faster with
each turn. Sleet pounding the windshield. Daniel fighting with the clutch and
brake. The truck’s headlights impaling us. Crunching steel. Daniel’s bloody
face.
Pain stretches from my head, dragging its dirty talons down my
neck and across my shoulders, ending in cold numbness at my chest. Something
presses my body down. I can’t move. I can’t escape it.

adult—both contemporary and paranormal. An avid fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and anything magical, she thrives on quirk, her lucid dreams, and coffee. When she’s not working or writing, she can be found sniffing books and drinking a
