Grief shapes them, love tests them, hope binds them.
Collateral Hearts begins with Patrick reading a fairy tale to his dying wife on their anniversary. After her passing, he’s left unmoored. Across own, Rebecca celebrates her own anniversary-until a crash leaves her in a coma and her husband, a casualty of the accident.
Volunteering at the hospital, Patrick tends to Rebecca with the same quiet care he once gave his wife. When she wakes, grief consumes her. Their paths cross again at her school, where she works as the principal. A fragile connection forms between them.
But just as healing feels within reach, a buried memory resurfaces-threatening everything. As grief and guilt collide, Patrick and Rebecca must confront the past and decide if love can survive the weight of what’s been lost.
