About This Violent Heart
In this haunting journey into the confusion and desires of growing up, a therapist reluctantly returns to her hometown, where she revisits the memories that could reveal what really killed her best friend all those years ago.
Devon Mayes thought she was done with the small conservative town she once called home. She fled when she was eighteen after her best friend Summer took her own life, leaving Summer's twin brother, Keaton, lost in his grief. But when tragedy strikes again, Devon has nowhere to turn but back to the place that first broke her heart.
Being back in Arkana means struggling with the old guilt that shrouds her bisexuality and her feelings for Keaton. There's so much she's still hiding from him--and so much of their shared past that's now resurfacing.
It's not long before Devon has reason to believe Summer's tragic death wasn't suicide after all. Summer had secrets, too...and she wasn't the only one who didn't want them exposed.
As Devon and Keaton piece together the mystery of what happened that fateful summer, they must reckon with their own truths before they can move forward. But one person will do whatever it takes to stop them.
Heather Levy is a born-and-bred Oklahoman and graduate of Oklahoma City University’s Red Earth MFA program for creative writing. The New York Times called her Anthony-nominated debut Walking Through Needles “a spellbinding novel at the nexus of power, desire, and abuse that portends a bright future”; and the LA Times called it “a standout for its frank but sensitive exploration of trauma and desire.” Publishers Weekly said her thriller Hurt for Me “delivers both heat and heart.”
Her novels focus on kink-positive stories centered on complex women. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband, two kids, and three murderous cats. Readers can follow her on X and IG @heatherllevy or on her website at www.heatherlevywriter.com.
