In world where heartbeats are currency, and the debts are for life.
In the near future, it's possible to extend your life, and purchase upgrades for your body. The cost is future heartbeats. A debt you can worry about tomorrow, or pay it off as you work for the company that sold it to you. It's a small price to pay for living longer.
Juliet isn’t just anyone, her father is the powerful head of the cyber-wear and life extension company, the man ultimately in charge of the new Heart Thread technology. To help a friend Juliet seeks help from an underworld hacker. He is reluctant, and confused, but intrigued.
As they discover more about the Heart Threads it isn't only debt tracking but intertwines much deeper into the human consciousness to control those with the implants. Together they form an unlikely bond. Can two people from such different worlds be together?
Juliet is caught between her loyalty to her father, her desire for freedom and doing the right thing.
Separated by class and ideals to change the world, Juliet will have to risk everything.

If you love underdogs vs corporate control; this tension-filled dystopian, HEART THREADED, is inspired by Shakespeare and Cyberpunk. A gritty adventure of young rebellion against class divides and the fight for hope.
