Still Beating

Still Beating
by Jennifer Hartmann

Survival binds them.
Trauma changes them.
Love is the last thing they expect.

Still Beating is a devastatingly emotional dark romance that explores the aftermath of shared trauma and the fragile line between pain and healing. When two people are forced into an unthinkable situation, their survival creates a bond neither of them is prepared for—one forged in fear, endurance, and the will to keep going.

This is not a love story that unfolds easily. It’s messy, heartbreaking, and deeply human. As they struggle to reclaim their lives, emotions surface that feel wrong, confusing, and impossible to ignore. Still Beating asks whether love born from darkness can still be real—and whether healing can come from the most broken places.

✨ Expect:

• Extremely heavy emotional content

• Trauma-focused storytelling with depth and care

• Complex, morally complicated feelings

• Slow, painful healing and growth

• A romance that hurts before it heals

Perfect for readers who can handle dark themes and want a powerful, unforgettable story about survival, resilience, and love against all odds.
