Story Teaser:

In The Heart' s Return, emotions are more than just fleeting feelings—they have a physical presence. When a girl’ s heart literally leaves her body and starts its own journey, she ’ s forced to grapple with the power of love, loss, and the essence of self. As she tracks the bloody steps her heart leaves behind, she finds herself torn between reclaiming what’ s hers and understanding that love might be about giving away the most precious thing you can own.
