Overview
This Jennifer Hartmann collection bundles three of her most emotionally charged romance novels—Still Beating, Lotus, and June First—into one paperback set for readers who love high-stakes tension paired with heart-wrenching connection. Each novel stands alone, yet together they showcase Hartmann's signature blend of suspense, longing, and redemption. From an enemies-to-allies survival story to a haunting reunion romance and a forbidden slow-burn love, this trio delivers the intensity, angst, and emotional payoff that have made Hartmann a favorite among dark romance readers seeking bold, character-driven fiction.
About the Books
Still Beating opens with a birthday party that spirals into disaster, trapping longtime rivals Cora and Dean together in a dangerous situation where survival depends on trust. What begins as years of teasing and animosity is tested under the weight of fear, forcing both characters to confront vulnerabilities they've kept hidden. Hartmann uses the claustrophobic setup to explore how crisis can dissolve old grudges and spark something more complicated than either expects.
Lotus centers on Sydney Neville, whose rebuilt life is upended when a person long presumed lost returns after more than two decades away. The novel weaves themes of memory, guilt, and the disorienting process of reconnecting with someone fundamentally changed by time and trauma. Hartmann handles the emotional complexity of reunion with a steady pace that keeps readers guessing how much of the past can be reclaimed.
June First follows Brant, whose quiet devotion to a girl he has watched over since childhood grows into something neither can ignore as she comes of age. Their bond is complicated by loyalty, timing, and the shadow of past decisions, and Hartmann leans into the ache of a love that feels both inevitable and forbidden. Across all three books, readers will find Hartmann's trademark mix of raw emotion, sharp dialogue, and hard-won hope.
