In a city where every breath can be counted, Aoife Quinn survives by discipline: angles, exits, wind direction, and the quiet rules that keep people alive. Ronan is the calm voice in her ear-the one who steadies her hands, keeps her grounded, and never asks for more than the work requires.
Then someone begins turning voices into weapons.
As an unseen antagonist splices audio, twists consent into spectacle, and feeds public scrutiny into pressure points, Aoife and Ronan are forced to protect more than their operations. They must defend truth itself-what was said, what was chosen, and what love looks like when lived in daylight.
Tense, intimate, and emotionally precise, Between Heartbeats is a romantic suspense novel about restraint, trust, and choosing each other without hiding.
