In A Heartbeat

A contemporary romantic suspense set in a small town in Ohio by an acclaimed award-winning author.

Transplanted hearts can hold memories. They can give voice to the dead. And they can hold the key to identifying a serial killer.

Assigned to do an audit for an old client may finally give Certified Public Accountant Angela Blake what she really wants: independence from a family that's been overprotective for far too long. Her recent heart transplant has given her a new lease on life and she's ready to live. The demanding new CEO of Hayden Industries may be distractingly sexy, but Angela's audit reveals troubling hints of deception. What is he hiding?

Hank Renard never wanted to be CEO of Hayden Industries, but his parents' impending financial ruin gave him no choice. If he doesn't reverse the flow of red ink, he'll lose the lucrative incentives offered. The clumsy, adorable auditor with the face of an angel only adds to his problems.

A series of troubling accidents point to a dangerous truth: someone wants Angela Blake dead. With her job, her heart and her life in peril, will Angela survive to discover a long-awaited love, or will her new life end before it's barely begun?
