Publisher Description
Never date a musician, Serafina Hennessy’s father always told her. But Rudd was a cellist, not a drummer. How bad could it be?
Sera soon finds out when her ratbag of a boyfriend runs off with a rock star, leaving her homeless, unemployed, and thousands of miles from her family. Unwilling to hear “I told you so,” Sera takes the first new position available and finds herself working at the Justice Project, reviewing claims of innocence and working to right past wrongs. Hardly her dream job, but there’s one case she can’t get out of her mind.
On the surface, the Sykes conviction seems airtight, but there are pieces that don’t quite fit. “Facts” that don’t add up… Against her boss’s advice, Sera falls down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, cover-ups, and deception in a case where nothing is as it seems.
Convict Levi Sykes has made many mistakes in his life, he’s the first to admit that. Killing his friend and roommate Ruby Costello wasn’t one of them.
But someone had to take the fall, and his world was quickly reduced to a seven-by-twelve cell and a new bestie named Diesel. Life in prison isn’t all bad—at least he doesn’t have to deal with his toxic parents anymore—but he lives in fear that Ruby’s killer will strike again.
When Sera pays him a visit, his only goal is to save lives, but by pitting Sera against his former roommates, he opens a Pandora’s box of trouble. And as a decade-old mystery unravels, a new monster awakens, a Hydra whose reach stretches farther than he ever imagined. Once again, a woman Levi cares for is in danger, but this time, only his enemies can save her…
Hard Heart is a darkly funny romantic suspense with a hot mess heroine, prison’s hottest pen pal, and an unhinged girl squad.
Customer Reviews
Old Bonds, New Dangers
Hard Heart is another fast-paced instalment in the Blackstone House saga, mixing humour, clever twists and unexpected turns with a well-developed cast.
Serafina and Levi remain at the centre of the story, alongside the former residents of Blackstone House and the Choir. The members of the Blackstone group have taken different paths and grown into very different people, yet their relationships still anchor the series and create interesting dynamics. The Choir, a group of lethal female operatives, are intriguing characters in their own right. Each brings her own sharp edges, deadly skills and unsettling quirks, and their exchanges are as entertaining as they are dangerous.
With a well-built plot, engaging prose and solid character development, Hard Heart delivers the pace and twists fans of the series expect. It also opens the door to new challenges for this unusual team, and leaves readers eager for the next instalment.
