From the back cover

Six years ago, Vivian threw herself in front of Julian during a kidnapping and took a bullet meant for him. Surgeons replaced her ruined heart with an experimental mechanical one, and Julian married her out of gratitude. Now, on their fifth anniversary, his love has turned as artificial as her heart. He parades a younger woman named Zoe through their circle of friends, and Vivian can no longer muster the anger he demands of her.

Her mechanical heart is running out of beats, and every day Julian spends chasing Zoe is another tick off her countdown. When the two women collide at a restaurant, Julian takes Zoe's side and has his lawful wife thrown out, while Vivian leans against a wall, struggling to breathe.

Vivian's best friend Chloe refuses to let the humiliation stand, but the damage to Vivian's failing heart may already be done.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

The bullet shattered my heart. Overseas, doctors replaced it with an experimental mechanical heart—powered purely by a built-in battery.

Because of that heart, Julian married me.

All our friends congratulated me, saying I had finally gotten what I wanted and married the love of my life.

Yet years later, while doctors were cracking my chest open on the operating table, Julian was kissing another woman under the moonlight.

I didn't react. I just lay there in silence, nursing what little life my heart had left.
