Marked Hearts by LJ Swallow

Alek could kill me with a kiss. Finn’s touch could end my life. My connection to the two men threatens us all.

I died once. Only for ten minutes, but my life will never be the same. My best friend died in the car accident and memories of that night haunt me. After months in recovery, I’m determined to escape from the shadows that follow me. I’ve found a job in the local hospital, a new home, and I’m ready to move on with my life.
My tiny, depressing room with nursery rhyme figures on the wall isn’t the most uncomfortable thing about the house. I’m uneasy about the strange visitors I trip over on the stairs, and my immediate and intense attraction to my housemate Alek also bothers me. He’s attractive but arrogant and precisely the type of guy I avoid. So why can’t I keep away from him?
Work brings more challenges as I struggle to settle into my new role following my time isolated from the world. A new nurse working in ICU is one of the few who talk to me. I’d love to spend more time with enigmatic and friendly Finn, but the guy has a chilling effect on me I want to avoid.
And there’s Tom, the young guy who works in the morgue and claims he’s an expert on the paranormal world. He’s convinced somebody is killing patients and that the culprit isn’t human—and is somebody I know. I’d tell Tom he’s mad, but I can’t because I almost believe him.
I’m about to discover that there’s a reason Alek and Finn have entered my life and they have something heart-stopping to tell me. The slow recovery and fogged nightmares aren’t the only changes I need to deal with, and these two men are bad for my health.
I’m Rose Walker. I died for ten minutes, and I’m not the girl I was.
