Book overview

A grieving widow. A man with her husband's heart. And a devastating connection neither of them saw coming.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a hauntingly emotional standalone romance that will shatter you, stitch you up, and leave you aching for more.

Melody March had her future all planned out, and it was a fairy tale.

Then, on her five-year wedding anniversary, her dreams shattered. Her husband was cruelly ripped away from her, leaving her broken heart behind.

But he left another heart behind, too: his.

Drowning in grief, Melody reaches out to her husband's heart recipient and seeks solace in a support group for fellow lost souls. She's determined to find the bright, optimistic woman she used to be, and the man with the only remaining piece of her husband--but she doesn't expect what else awaits her.

Enter Parker. Dark, brooding, and emotionally detached, he's Melody's opposite in every way, yet she's inexplicably drawn to him. But as their bond burns brighter, so do the secrets that come to light, challenging everything they thought they knew about love and loss, grief and hope.

Melody already lost her heart once.

Now, another heart holds the power to heal her...or destroy her.

Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Mia Sheridan, and Brittainy C. Cherry, this is a story of grief, second chances, and love that dares to bloom in the shadow of loss.

Tropes The Wrong Heart delivers:

  • Survivor romance
  • Grumpy x sunshine
  • Slow burn
  • Found family
  • Second chances
