Winona mends hearts for a living while trying to protect her own.

But when a rich angry client burns down her clinic & threatens her hard-won independence, she must pair up with a (literally) heartless girl to catch him.

And try not to fall in love in the process...

Suddenly a prime suspect in the case, he must investigate to clear his name. But when he begins to dream of the Wilderwood, and finds the forest growing inside him, killing him from the inside out, he questions if he’s really as innocent as he’s trying to prove Shows covers of Truly, Devious, and Don’t Let the Forest in.

Winona will do anything to escape her mom’s new family, even forge her papers to become a heart mender.

But when someone burns down the clinic, she must wrangle with her trust issues & hunt down the culprit with help from a pretty girl w/o a heart. #questpit #YA #CF #LGBT
Pink image with hearts with art in the center of two girls holding hands. Text reads HEARTS TO MEND: YA sapphic contemporary fantasy. Sapphic romance, found family, unique magic system, slow burn, grumpy x sunshine, equal angst and humor, teaching the LI to be human. An Agent/Editor's Guide to Hearts to Mend: 78k YA sapphic contemporary fantasy with heart and humor. When someone burns down 17-year-old heart mender Winona's clinic, she must team up with the beautiful and heartless (literally) Sable to find the culprit before her lies are revealed and she loses not only her job, but her life. And she needs to avoid falling for someone who can't love her back in the process... Snippet: "Hearts are competitive these days," Winona mused. "No one wants a broken one when they've already got one of their own." "I wouldn't mind." "What?" "A broken one." The girl's gaze trailed along the wreckage. "I wouldn't mind having one." Winona's heart clenched. "Then you've never had a broken heart. There's nothing worse than it." The girl's eyes found her, and their gazes met. It was like those brown eyes peered right into her. Seeing her. Her hearts. Everything she was trying to hide. It made Winona want to spill everything to this girl. This strange girl without a heart. Pink image with hearts and the three book covers for Spellbound by F.T. Lukens, Hearts Still Beating by Brooke Archer, and This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham. Text reads: For fans of humor and heart, grumpy x sunshine, complicated families, finding your place in a new world, mild/light gore, morally gray girlhood.
