This Old Heart of Mine
By A.J. Compton
Genre: Romance
Release Date: May 24, 2016
Synopsis
Ava Malone knows
all about being broken-hearted.
Born with a severe
heart defect, she’s spent her whole life in and out of hospital, desperately
needing a transplant.
Just days from
death, her weak prayers are finally answered, and she receives a new heart; one
that not only saves her life, but changes it forever.
Now fit and
healthy, Ava is able to do things she only dreamed of, like get a job and some
independence, fall in love, and finally live life to the fullest.
But her journey of
self-discovery takes her to places she never expected. Along the way, Ava
doesn’t just find the woman she was always meant to be, but also finds out more
about the woman who no longer is. The one who gave her this new life because
she lost hers.
Faced with a
devastating dilemma, Ava must decide whether the heart that’s pumping inside
her body now belongs to her, or is still beating for someone else...
Excerpt
"...His
laughter mingles with mine and is absorbed by the stars.
It’s a moment granted to us by people I hope are in the sky above us now, laughing as they look down.
I’m sure others on the ground are staring at the scene we’re making, casting their judgments. But they don’t know us, not like we know us.
They don’t understand the hope in our eyes or the alchemy of our blood.
They don’t know our truth. Our hearts. Our lives.
Lives that we now have the freedom to live or waste.
It’s a moment granted to us by people I hope are in the sky above us now, laughing as they look down.
I’m sure others on the ground are staring at the scene we’re making, casting their judgments. But they don’t know us, not like we know us.
They don’t understand the hope in our eyes or the alchemy of our blood.
They don’t know our truth. Our hearts. Our lives.
Lives that we now have the freedom to live or waste.
Once. Twice. Or as
many damn times as we like."
Meet the Author
A.J. Compton wants
a lot of things;
To write books that
make you think and feel deeply.
To make you ugly
cry and cry with laughter. In the same book.
To write stories
that cause you to be anti-social and have you staying up late to finish
them.
To show that life
can be cruel and difficult, but it can also be incredibly beautiful and
worthwhile.
And what A.J.
really wants, is to write books that make you remember why you love to
read.
A.J. knows better
than most that we don't always get what we want in life, but is going to give
it a damn good try ;)
