'Swoonsome love story with echoes of The Time Traveler's Wife ' Good Housekeeping 'Utter
joy!' Prima 'Unforgettable' Woman and Home What if your soulmate could only ever be the
love of your afterlife? The first time Emery's heart stops she is only five years old...
Emery is born with a heart condition that means her heart could quite literally stop at any
moment. The people around her know what to do - if they act quickly enough there will be no
lasting damage and Emery's heart can be restarted. But when this happens she is briefly
technically dead. Each time Emery's heart stops she meets Nick. His purpose is to help
people adjust to the fact that they are dead to help them say goodbye before they move on
entirely. He does not usually meet people more than once - but with Emery he is able to make a
connection and he finds himself drawn to her. As Emery's life progresses and she goes
through ups and downs she finds that a part of her is longing for those moments when her heart
will stop - so that she can see Nick again. This is the story of two fated lovers who long
for each other but are destined never to share more than a few fleeting moments - because if
they were to be together it would mean the end of Emery's life. 'Prepare to have your
