“How long have you been running, little rabbit?”
Ever Knight had been racing towards death her entire life, her feet pounding against the floors of psychiatric institutes and hospitals across Boston. From a very young age, she was haunted by depression, and despite numerous attempts to escape its grip, it always pulled her back. When her doctor delivers the news that she has less than a year to live, the allure of death begins to fade. To make matters worse, her history of substance abuse and depression disqualifies her from the transplant list for a new heart. Poetic, in a darkly ironic way, but Ever preferred thrillers to tragedies. She never expected to be cornered by a dark-eyed doctor on a cold Boston night, offering her a chance at life, but at what cost?
Doctor Theron Hawthorne, a renowned surgeon by day and a black-market organ harvester by night, leads a double life. As a member of a lineage of hunters, he takes criminals off the streets and gives their organs to patients denied transplants, free of charge. Why? It satiates his bloodlust, for one. When Theron finds Ever outside the hospital, consumed by self-grief, he sees something he has been searching for his entire life—a voice to call back to him in the void.
If I Had a Heart is the first book in the Hawthorne Duology, a Harvester novel. Fans of Haunting Adeline, Silence of the Lambs and Dexter might also enjoy this dark stalker romance.
