Each beat of her heart brings her closer to the truth and closer to him...

When Jenna's husband Paul dies in a car wreck, he leaves his desperately ill wife one last gift: his heart. Now, as Paul's heat beats strong within Jenna, something strange is happening. Paul is leading Jenna back to Texas-- to a twin brother she never knew he had, and a past he kept secret from her.

Mitch Elliot is a mirror image of Paul-- but that can't fully explain the powerful, electrifying feeling Jenna has towards him. Paul's heart is binding her and Mitch in a way that can't be explained-- and leading them both to a truth too dark to face.

Torn by two men: Paul, the husband she never really knew, and Mitch, who is shattering all her illusions and awakening her to love-- Jenna knows she must follow her heart...at whatever the cost.

Product description

From Publishers Weekly

A far-fetched but intriguing premise powers the latest paranormal romance from the author of Second Time Around. When heart patient Jenna Elliot's husband, Paul, dies in a car crash, Jenna receives his transplanted heart and, with it, a psychic connection to her late husband. Not only is she drawn to investigate the unusual circumstances surrounding his death, but she feels compelled to travel to a town in Texas, where she discovers Mitch ElliotAthe twin brother Paul never told her aboutAand an old mystery concerning the murder of the twins' parents. This promising situation becomes static, however, as the characters visit and revisit the same emotional conflicts. All the while, Paul's heart conveniently reveals the necessary clues to them, bit by bit. Although fans will enjoy the complex characters and unusual plot, the story quickly loses momentum. (June)

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch writing with a plot that never stops twisting.
Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 1999
Tina Wainscott's newest novel is a marvelous read. She has taken a current day medical event and given it an imaginative twist that is hard to match.
Jenna Elliott needs a new heart. When her husband Paul dies in a car accident, he wills his heart to Jenna. She receives the transplant, recovers from the surgery and then is filled with the need to visit Texas. She feels Paul's spirit leading her to a place that is unknown to her. The first person she encounters is his twin, Mitch, whom she did not know existed.
Paul had kept his life before Jenna secret. She did not know he had family, nor did she know that he was rich. As each mystery unravels, Mitch must learn to trust Jenna and she must fight to solve the problems that Paul left behind. Paul s spirit tells her that he wants her to find the truth, and she grows in strength with Mitch's help to get at that truth which has tormented both brothers for nine years. Mitch and Jenna develop a deep and powerful love that changes their lives.
Tina Wainscott tells this story extremely well. Her style of writing is top notch, her characters are strong, and the plot is full of excitement. Her novel engenders a new awareness of the struggles a transplant patient must face in his/her everyday life. Her touch of the supernatural is imaginative, and makes one feel that a person's soul is truly in the heart.
This is a not to be missed story. It is filled with suspense, romance, extra sensory perception, and excitement in the discovery of a new life and a new love for Jenna Elliott. Treat yourself to this book, you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Heartwarming Book!
Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2003
This was a heartwarming story from the very beginning. The characters were made real by Ms. Wainscott talented writing. Combining mystery, romance,faith, and "what if" situations made this a page turning story from the first page. Mitch and Jenna were great characters and their romance was very believable.
Ms. Wainscott has a real talent for taking the incredible and making it seem not only real but possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Talanted Blend of Romance, Mystery and Life
Reviewed in Canada on July 5, 1999
The author demonstrates an unusual and fascinating ability to blend all the right ingredients into this novel. Her imagination mixes the believable with the unbelievable in a way that keeps the readers unwaivering interest. My minds eye had no trouble picturing and knowing the characters, Jenna, Paul and Mitch because this new young author has a profound talent for using words.

This book is about a woman who loses her husband in an accident. She needs a heart transplant and finds that he left his heart to her (he was a match for her). Later she finds that he was not truthful about his family. She finds that he has a twin brother and their parents were murdered. It is a good romance and mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Big Texas Country, Engaging Love Story
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020

So, I just finished reading this wonderful story. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this tale about two homes, two states, two brothers, and the amazing (Sorry, I know that's such a cliche, but true in this person) women who's part of both. What does it take to trust, totally trust yourself and the man in your, to love, without reservation. This is a page turner, interesting, engrossing novel. As usual for a creation by Tina Wainscott, this is a novel with many hours of reading pleasure.
I could not recommend it more highly.

This one is back to the excellences of her earlier works. Well thought out, written, edited, etc. Definitely worth reading (probably a couple of times). I really do appreciate her ideas of the strange and possibles. And I will be reading the next in line of her books.
And on top of everything else she puts into her books, they are really amazing love stories (relationship stories, however you would want to classify).
