The Heartbeat He Thought Was Gone
Coming Soon!!!
Bella Swan came home from Phoenix with a broken leg, cracked ribs, a scar along her hairline, and a story everyone seemed willing to believe.
She had fallen down the stairs. She had gone through a window. Edward had saved her.
It was a good story.
There was only one problem.
Bella was beginning to remember.
Her father had already sensed something was wrong, although Charlie Swan was not a man who pushed where he wasn’t invited. Instead, he built a ramp over the porch steps, moved her bedroom downstairs, bought a ridiculous little brass bell in case she needed him during the night, and quietly began watching the people around his daughter with the eyes of a police chief.
Edward stayed close, attentive and endlessly reasonable, answering every question Bella asked except the ones that mattered.
Because somewhere beneath the nightmares and the carefully constructed version of what happened in Phoenix was another memory.
A voice.
A hand holding hers.
A heartbeat she should never have heard.
And one name Edward Cullen seemed determined not to say.
Jasper.
The more Bella remembers, the more the story she has been given begins to unravel, and soon she will have to decide whether the person everyone calls her hero is the man who saved her at all.
Sometimes the truth doesn’t disappear.
Sometimes it simply waits for you to remember it.
