From the bestselling author of The Chocolate Promise and Three Gold Coins comes a colourful and heartwarming story about a cafe owner who is given a new chance at life after receiving a heart transplant β€” but her new life comes at a price.

I suddenly knew, with crystal clarity, that it wasn't my memory I was experiencing. It was someone else's. It was his.

Gabby McPhee is the owner of The Tin Man, a chic new cafe and coffee roasting house in Melbourne. The struggles of her recent heart transplant are behind her and life is looking up β€” until a mysterious customer appears in the cafe, convinced that Gabby has her deceased husband's heart beating inside her chest...
