Jasmine I’m broken. Damaged goods, if you will. I’ve tried to escape my past, but it leaves me exhausted—wanting to end it all, because there’s nothing left for me. Until him. Until he comes home and sparks something inside of me I thought had been ripped away from me. He’s my best friend’s brother, and there’s a line we shouldn’t cross, no matter how much his touch heals my broken parts. Angel I was finally home, hoping to escape the guilt and nightmares that clung to my skin—but one look in her sad brown eyes tells me the ghosts of my failures aren’t as far away as I hoped. She’s the one thing my messed-up mind clings to, and I know I shouldn’t cross that line with her, but the solace I find in her arms is too tempting to resist.

Our demons have been let out to destroy us. We're both drowning, barely holding on. The storm we're caught in was designed just to break us. But I have become her comfort and she has become my anchor. Standing together, we can conquer anything. Join Jasmine and Angel as their story continues in this second installment in the Shattered Heart Series. \\\*WARNING:This novel is intended for mature readers only. Novel contains a rape scene.

Eight years was a long time to be gone. I changed and I knew the people I was going home to changed as well. I never wanted to leave her, but circumstances forced me to walk away and I chose not to look back. But I’m finally home and ready to reclaim all that I lost with Kris. I hoped the decisions I made in my past didn’t come back to haunt me. He’d been gone for eight years. Left without ever saying goodbye to me. He chose to walk away from us, never letting me decide whether I wanted to live my life with him. I had to learn how to move on and mourn the loss of what could have been. Eight years was a long time to be gone. Too bad my heart didn’t understand the concept of time.
