Can a dead heart learn to beat again?
After dropping out of med school, Lucy Sullivan thought her skill with a scalpel would only be useful for her hobbyist taxidermy. Life takes another unexpected turn when she becomes the doctor for a most unusual patient: one who's already dead. Or undead, rather.
Subject X-14, The Revenant—aka Victor—may be a collection of stitched-together corpses with a hunger for human flesh, yet Lucy soon finds herself grappling with an unexpected fondness for her patient. Despite her general fear of getting close to people, she wants to make him happy just as badly as she wants to cut him open and figure out what makes him tick.
When Victor uses her as a hostage and kidnaps her, Lucy becomes a pawn in his plot to take out his cruel creator. They say if you seek revenge, you should dig two graves—and with Lucy caught up in this scheme, it might just be three. Can she save Victor before he loses himself to his desire for vengeance, or will he drag her down with him?
The Revenant's Heart is a slow-burn, suspenseful novel about an undead monster and a human, featuring both romantic and horror themes. It has an HEA and can be enjoyed as a standalone, though it has crossover with other books in the Monster Research Facility series. For mature listeners.
