Borrowed Pulse: A Marriage of Convenience Dark Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279307869)

I stole her husband's heart to save my own life. Now, I've bought her debt to own her soul.

Dr. Elias Grant is a god in the operating room. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. But three months ago, he was a corpse in waiting. He needed a heart, and he found one rolling into his trauma bay inside the chest of a rough-edged architect named Leo. Elias didn't just accept the organ. He made a choice. He let the man die to take the pulse. And then, he saw the widow.

Maya Davis is drowning. Grief-stricken and buried under a mountain of secret gambling debts her late husband left behind, she is one missed payment away from losing everything. Then, a stranger in a bespoke suit makes her an offer she can't refuse. Dr. Grant buys her debt. He buys her time. He buys her. All she has to do is sign the contract: live in his penthouse, restore his art, and belong to him.

A haunting obsession. Maya hates him. He is cold, controlling, and terrifyingly precise. Yet, when he touches her, she feels a shock of static that defies logic. When he looks at her, she sees a hunger that mimics the man she lost. She thinks she's grieving a saint. She doesn't know she was married to a monster. And she doesn't know that Elias isn't just her savior. He's the predator who watched her husband die so he could take his place.

The heart remembers what the mind tries to hide. As the lines between the living and the dead blur, Elias finds himself possessed by a love that isn't his-and a rage he can't control. But Maya isn't the fragile bird they both thought she was. She's drawn to the darkness, and she's about to find out that the only thing more dangerous than a ghost... is the man who killed him.

He borrowed the pulse, but he intends to keep the girl.

BORROWED PULSE is a standalone Dark Medical Romance with paranormal undertones. It features a morally black anti-hero, dub-con themes, primal play, and a "happily ever after" that is as twisted as it is satisfying.
