Blurb:
Our
lives shattered... Our hearts broken... Our souls torn to pieces...
He
was my world, my whole life. My reason for breathing. I had a perfect marriage,
a baby on the way, and I felt fulfilled—almost invincible.
Until
the day life hit, leaving me broken, vulnerable, and alone.
She
was my life. My ray of hope on the cloudiest day. With her, I thought I had the
ultimate safety. A love that would never hurt or betray me. I gave her my
heart, my body, and my soul.
Until
she broke me, destroying every dream and illusion I had about life, love, and
marriage.
In
our grief, we made a mistake. A mistake I'm not sure we can come back from.
An Excerpt---
An Excerpt---
I step back
and release a shaky breath. “I don’t know what to say. You know that we...” I
flick my eyes to the other side of the room to collect my scattered thoughts.
Erasing the
distance I just tried to put between us, he lifts my face to his. Our eyes connect,
and my pulse—already wild—intensifies.
He looks
straight through to the heart of me. “You don’t have to say anything right now.
You don’t have to say anything ever. Just think about what I’m saying.” Gaze
locked on mine, he places a tender kiss on my lips.
When he pulls back, he clears his throat and
pulls out his phone. “All right, get packed. I’ll call the pilot and let him
know we’re ready to leave.”
I nod numbly
as he walks out of the room. I want to go home to my empty house. My empty bed.
My empty life. I need some time away from everyone. I need to figure out what’s
wrong with me. What happened to the girl
with morals?
I close my
eyes as all energy drains from my body. I slip to the ground, hugging my knees.
I miss my life before Kayla died. Before all I felt was pain and hopelessness.
Before all I saw was a nightmare. Before I shut down and started doing stupid
things.
I need to
find the girl I used to be, but I’m not sure she’s in there anymore. I’m not
sure she’s strong enough to come back. Because coming back means feeling the
loss of her baby and confronting the problems in her marriage. It means facing
pain, fear, and guilt. That is so terrifying that living in a state of numbness
and denial might just be easier.

Author Info:
All three
aforementioned addictions are detrimental to my sanity.
I have a voracious
appetite for dark, painful and twisted reads. I'm enamored with the concept of
love and heart break. I believe life is a journey, a tale in its own for each
of us. The road to happiness is sometimes paved with stones from hell, or glitters
of satisfaction graced from the heavens above.
In my upcoming debut
novel, 'Against All Odds,' I strive to make you feel. I believe any
emotion—whether painful or happy—is good. To me, the key to living is to go
through life feeling its ups and downs. Love is dark and it can be painful but,
at the end of the day, it can save the most lost of souls and the most broken
of hearts
