The incredible beat of my heart is a provocative collection of short prose, varying in style from suburban-realist to surrealist. Kuit transmits the elusive strangeness of daily life in a deceptively matter-of-fact tone, spiked with bursts of rage, humour, and unmarked detours.

What if you were told there's a possibility you would not be alive to see this afternoon or wake up tomorrow morning? Do you think you would live differently? My Heart is Julie Manning's story of facing potential heart failure each day and recognizing that each day may be her last, changing normal expectations and self-reliance to the surrendering of her dreams, plans, and deepest desires into the hands of our unchanging God.

*This is a standalone book #2 in the interconnected series, The Broken-Hearts. One week. No strings. Sexy stranger. What could go wrong? My name is Julia McDowell. I'm not the pretty girl next door, I'm the boss at work who solves all your problems. I'm an awkward genius with the worst taste in boyfriends; the last one left me with a 6-figure debt to prove it. So, when the most swoon-worthy man alive saves me from a psychotic tree, who am I to say no to a drink? He's sweet yet powerful with a darkness I can't place. I should be terrified of him, but I find myself drawn to him in ways I've never experienced. He says I'm his guiding light, that our hearts beat to the same melody. But I'm not looking for forever, and he has his own demons to slay. We agreed to one week, no strings. It will have to be enough. It's definitely enough, more than enough, until it's not. I'm ready to throw our one-week rules out the window when tragedy pulls us apart. It would take a miracle to find our way back to each other, and life is no fairytale. With no happily ever after in sight, will our hearts learn a new rhythm? Or will heartache become our new theme song? Click the BUY NOW button to enter the world of Broken Hearts and find out! The Beat of My Heart is a standalone HEA in the Broken Hearts Series. While it can be read alone, Avery strongly encourages you to read book 1, Cross My Heart first as the stories overlap. *Cross My Heart is a HEA stand-alone contemporary romance novel that deals with the aftermath of physical abuse and adult abduction that may be a trigger for some readers.

The heart is our most important organ and perhaps our most mysterious. Every day it pumps 9000 litres of blood and beats around 100,000 times. But the heart is more than just a pump. In all major human cultures, it is seen as the source of love, sympathy, joy, courage, strength and wisdom. Why is this so? Having witnessed the extraordinary complexity and unpredictability of human hearts in the operating theatre – each one individual in its make-up, like a fingerprint – heart surgeon Reinhard Friedl went on a search for answers. He examined closely the latest findings in neurocardiology and psychocardiology, and in The Beat of Life he shares his discoveries. In the tradition of Giulia Enders’ Gut and Norman Doidge’s The Brain That Changes Itself, he uses riveting personal stories to illustrate the complex relationship between the heart, the brain and the psyche. The Beat of Life ends with a plea: that we recognise the heart’s wisdom and adopt a more heart-centred way of living, which will lead to greater health.

A haunting tale of war, love and loss from the author of Birdsong and A Week in December The Sunday Times bestseller On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks – an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth century had to offer – is forced to confront the events that made up his life. His host is Alexander Pereira, a man who seems to know more about his guest than Hendricks himself does. The search for the past takes us through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love that seems to hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally – unforgettably – back into the trenches of the Western Front. This moving novel casts a long, baleful light over the century we have left behind but may never fully understand. Daring, ambitious and in the end profoundly moving, this is Faulks’s most remarkable book yet.

I thought I'd live in silence forever . . . and then I met him. I'll never be able to hear, but music has always been a source of comfort for me. Rather than listen to the rhythm, I can actually feel the beat pulsing through me. It's pure bliss. So the moment I saw Thorin playing his guitar, I was mesmerized. I'd never seen anything more beautiful . . . or intimate. I couldn't tell where his body ended and the song began. He's everything I need in my life . . . I'm falling fast, hard, and deep. I want him more than anything. But while I live in silence, Thor lives in secrets. He's holding something back-something that's keeping this intensity, this longing from being real. And the silence may be too loud to bear . . .
