HEARTBOUND

The curse gives them thirty days.
Shared heartbeat. Shared pain. Shared breath - and forty feet before the agony becomes unbearable. One way out. A willing kiss.

The problem isn't the curse.
The problem is him.
Mateo Cross. The man who destroyed her world. The man she'd sworn to hate forever... which would have been easier if she could stop thinking about him.
The kiss has to be willing. From both of them.
They'd both rather die.
Survival means proximity. Proximity means truth.
And neither of them is ready for what the truth actually is.
