C. C. Hunter
C. C. Hunter’s emotional story about a girl whose new heart may help her to catch a killer, now in trade paperback. A new heart saved her life—but will it help her find out what really happened to its donor? From the New York Times bestselling author of the Shadow Falls series comes C. C. Hunter's This Heart of Mine: a haunting, poignant tale about living and dying, surviving grief, guilt, and heartache, while discovering love and hope in the midst of sadness. Seventeen-year-old Leah MacKenzie is heartless. An artificial heart in a backpack is keeping her alive. However, this route only offers her a few years. And with her rare blood type, a transplant isn’t likely. Living like you are dying isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But when a heart becomes available, she’s given a second chance at life. Except Leah discovers who the donor was — a boy from her school — and they’re saying he killed himself. Plagued with dreams since the transplant, she realizes she may hold the clues to what really happened. Matt refuses to believe his twin killed himself. When Leah seeks him out, he learns they are both having similar dreams and he’s certain it means something. While unraveling the secrets of his brother’s final moments, Leah and Matt find each other, and a love they are terrified to lose. But life and even new hearts don’t come with guarantees. Who knew living, took more courage than dying?

"The last part of Kayla and Madison's journey. <br/><br/>This book made me cry in several places just simply because it's one of those heart wrenching books. From book one you get invested in Kayla and Madison's story and you can't just put it down until you reach the end. No matter what happens, you're always rooting for them to make it through and stay together. <br/><br/>In the end of book two, we find out not only that Madison's grandfather died but that Kayla takes a pregnancy test. <br/><br/>In book three, the results of that test turn out to be positive. Before Kayla has a chance to tell Madison, she has to help him get through his grandfather's funeral and then someone from his past coming back to claim what they think is theirs but isn't. Not to mention someone from Kayla's past is back to help and get what was promised to them. <br/><br/>Madison fights to keep Kayla safe, but he also has to fight to make her see that he only wants what's best for her and their baby, even if it means he has to be away from her for a short time period.<br/><br/>Before he has the chance to make good on his promise. The unthinkable happens. Kayla has to learn to deal with everything that's going on in the best way that she can not to mention she has to take care of herself for their child. <br/><br/>When everything finally works itself out, Madison makes good on his promise. He does what he can to take care of their family. He wants to be the man his father wasn't but his grandfather was. <br/><br/>After a short time, Madison finds out everything has changed. Kayla and him are finally starting their own home for their family that they've already started. <br/><br/>Cami and Glen are still going strong even after everything that they have to put up with in order to stay with each other. <br/><br/>To find out what's changed and everything in between, grab This Heart of Mine by Amanda Bennett."
