One heart's been broken. The other is secondhand.Kory Vansant doesn't deserve to be alive.As time sucks him dry of energy, sapping the final ounces of strength from his congenitally enlarged heart, he's forced to end his career as Kory Kent, porn star. Staring down death, he questions his life choices and prays for a miracle. For another chance at life, he vows to change who he is at his core.His prayers are answered. A perfect heart now beats in his chest, but it comes at a heavy price. The donor is an innocent young man cut down far too prematurely.Kory's blemished history and his donor's spotless past are far from ideal matches.As his debts skyrocket, Kory can't help but think his resolve to walk the high road is being tested. After he meets the adorable Will Squire at the gravesite they both visit, he's doubly damned because there's no way he can keep up his end of the bargain. What happens when a man breaks a deal with a higher power?Will often prefers the company of the dead to that of the living. Following a bad breakup, he pours himself into his two jobs—funeral director at his uncle's mortuary and part-time paramedic. He's drawn ever closer to Kory, as if fate sticks her fickle hand in and pushes them together like two unlikely puzzle pieces. But sometimes history can't be buried, and maybe divine intervention isn't always right. Will discovers everyone is imperfect, no matter how pretty the outer package, and opening one's heart is never easy, but can be oh, so worth the pain.
