She has his dead wife’s heart; the one she wants is his. The author of The Family Plot brings her signature prose to a twisty novel about a heart transplant patient who becomes romantically obsessed with her donor’s husband.
Rosie Lachlan wants nothing more than to find The One.
A year after she was dumped in her wedding dress, she’s working at her parents’ bridal salon, anxious for a happy ending that can’t come soon enough. After receiving a life-saving heart transplant, Rosie knows her health is precious and precarious. She suspects her heart donor is Daphne Thorne, the wife of local celebrity author Morgan Thorne, who she begins messaging via an anonymous service called DonorConnect, ostensibly to learn more about Daphne. But Rosie has a secret: She’s convinced that now that she has his wife’s heart, she and Morgan are meant to be together.
As she and Morgan correspond, the pretense of avoiding personal details soon disappears, even if Rosie’s keeping some cards close to her chest. But as she digs deeper into Morgan’s previous marriage, she discovers disturbing rumors about the man she’s falling for. Could Morgan have had something to do with his late wife’s death? And can Rosie’s heart sustain another break—or is she next? ~taken from Goodreads

This is the third book I've read from author, Megan Collins and like the other two, this one had it's thrilling moments. "Behind The Red Door" and "The Family Plot" were previous books I read and enjoyed, so I was excited about this latest novel.
I will admit this started out a bit slow for me. The chapters are told in a weird, alternating perspective that I didn't quite understand until almost halfway through. Once I realized what was happening and the twist "clicked" I was completely hooked!
This is a story about obsession and secrets, and is full of twists. It is full of characters, each one more mysterious than the next. Every single character could be a suspect and it wasn't until the very end that I knew who the killer was.
I am glad I went into this book knowing very little about it, and I think every reader should too. It made for a fun and exciting read.
Thanks to Netgalley, Edelweiss, and Atria books for the advanced digital copies to read and give my honest review. It was a 4 star read!
"Cross My Heart" is available today, January 14, 2025 here in the U.S. so get your copy today!
Happy Reading!
