Malik is frustrated with the meaningless dating scene. Women treat him like an object, not a person, and he wants to find his soul mate—the woman whose heartbeat is in perfect rhythm with his. Wyndy is his soul mate but time after time the couple has been separated by circumstances. Will they meet and get to remain together this time?

In a Heartbeat by Aithne Jaretta reads like poetry. There are wonderful verbal descriptions that build a picture in your mind of the stormy weather and the anguish Malik is feeling. Even though it is very short, it is well done and draws the reader in, twirls you around with mental images, and spits you out the other end feeling relieved that the storm is ending. If you want a quick but emotion filled and descriptive story to read then take a moment with In a Heartbeat!
