About this ebook
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt comes a deeply emotional tale of being lost, until light—and love—brings you back to shore...
Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she's gone...just out of reach.
Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend’s maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.
Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she's lost her sense of self.
Apparently my body hasn’t gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood.
And when our hands touch, it’s a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.
He’s nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.
But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.
Trigger Warning: My Heart Still Beats is a dark, emotional romance with a happy ending. However, the story includes elements that might not be suitable for all readers. Sexual assault, physical assault, rape, child molestation, suicidal thoughts, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, murder, and blood are shown in the novel. Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note.

This is a sharply emotional book that cuts very, very deeply as you read it. My heart broke again and again as I read this book, and the ache in my chest was painful, but thankfully my heart also melted, and I swooned just about as often as Tessa and Ben's romance takes root, grows and blossoms. Not an easy read because of the dark subject matter but it is also rich with so much hope, love and healing.

I have read and enjoyed a couple other books by Helen Hardt. I am so glad I pick this one up! It's a hard read in some ways. They have so much past to overcome. It brought out all the different emotions a person can feel. Such a heartbreaking and heartwarming story. LOVED the characters. I was not ready for it to end.
