Hearts Anyone?

A heart churning story of a billionaire, Frank, who faces certain death unless he receives a heart from a lovely doctor, Erin. Frank brings the pressure of his power and charm to bear on Erin, whose Heart Clinic is dying a financial death. Frank receives his heart under mysterious circumstances, as Erin's lover dies in an accident. Suffering the depravations of heart transplant, invasive procedures and toxic drugs, Frank dedicates his resources to improve medical science. Frank's research staff consists of supremely intelligent descendants of the Anasazi who protect the radical research from regulation within a "sovereign nation." Frank defies bureaucratic regulators, and advances the art of healing. The austere grandeur of a desert southwest setting, simmering romance, irreverent humor, ancient civilizations and mind blowing archeological discoveries, the book covers a lot of ground. The author received a heart transplant; this novel is full of his insight and hope.
