You Make My Heart Stop - Paperback

by Becky Hunter (Author)

A young woman with a life-threatening medical condition must decide between her life on earth and her soulmate--who she can only be with in the afterlife--in this moving exploration of loss, love, and fate--perfect for fans of Kirsty Greenwood and Jojo Moyes.

For years, Emery has lived with a condition that means her heart could literally stop at any second. While her friends and family try too hard to protect her, Emery refuses to live in perpetual fear. Besides, she has a secret--when her heart stops, Emery actually dies ... and that's the only time she can see Nick.

Nick is Emery's constant--the man who exists in the space between life and death, helping souls cross over to whatever comes next. Usually, he meets people just once and for a fleeting moment. But Emery and Nick keep meeting, keep tilting each other's worlds and pushing the limits of their time together.

Every brush with death brings Emery closer to a soulmate she can never have while she remains alive. Yet the universe seems determined to prove it still has a few surprises left for her--first kisses, second chances, and unexpected, world-changing opportunities.

Emery could finally have a chance at a real future, but how can she give up the love of her afterlife to seize the life she has now?

"What a gorgeously written, emotionally profound story! You won't be able to put down." ―Kirsty Greenwood, bestselling author of The Love of My Afterlife

"A magical, memorable, moving book." ―Sarah J. Harris, author of Meet Me On the Bridge

Author Biography

Becky Hunter grew up in Berkshire, UK, and has loved reading since before she can remember. After studying social sciences at Cambridge University, this love of reading led her to a career in publishing, where she worked as a book publicist in London for several years before taking a career break and moving to Mozambique to volunteer with horses. It was here that she decided to give writing a proper go, though it was still a few years, a few more destinations, and a couple more jobs before she had the idea that would become ONE MOMENT, her debut novel.

She currently splits her time between London, Bristol, and Falmouth and works as a freelance book publicist and editor alongside her own writing.
