Between Two Heartbeats

Between life and death, there is a silence-and in that silence, Trevor Hayes hears her.After waiting for a new heart in a hospital room for eight months, Trevor is given a chance that few people receive. The donor is a young woman named Lily, gone too soon-but not gone entirely. Soon after the transplant, Trevor begins to hear a voice. Not imagined, not fading-present. A voice that belongs to the woman whose heart now beats inside his chest. As days pass, Lily's memories flicker through him: books she loved, songs that shaped her, and the world she never had time to finish exploring. What begins as confusion turns slowly into something tender, impossible, and deeply human-the kind of connection that shouldn't exist, yet refuses to be denied.As Trevor rebuilds his life, the boundary between memory and emotion blurs. He and Lily share more than pulse and breath-they share dreams, longing, and the beginnings of something like love. But how do you love someone who no longer lives outside of you? And how long can a heart hold two souls?Between Two Heartbeats is a haunting, romantic, life-after-loss love story-intimate, hopeful, and impossible to forget. A novella for readers who believe love can cross even the borders of mortality. P. A.
