Heartbreakers #2

Grace
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Out November 2015
Jill Swanson has
loved Nico Bianchi since she was eighteen, but how much heartbreak can one
woman take before she’s utterly broken?
After a tough year
and half Jill’s main focus is on raising her infant daughter and doing the best
that she can with her situation. When a call from Nico’s mother sends Jill and
her daughter to Perugia, Umbria. Jill’s faced with the one man that shattered
her heart and left her a changed woman.
She didn’t expect
to still have feelings for him but now her main focus was being there for his
mom and letting him get to know his child.
Nico Bianchi spent
ten years sabotaging his own happiness out of fear that history would have a
way of repeating itself.
Now sober and
healthier than ever he’s ready to fight for his family. But just when he’s
finally gotten through to Jill, ghosts from the past reappear and test his
sobriety, threatening to ruin his new life. If he sabotages things again he
knows, he will lose his family for good this time.
Are soul-mates
destined to be together?
Jill wants more
than anything to believe that she and her daughter are finally going to get
their happily ever after. But with Nico’s past coming back to haunt him, she
come face to face with the reality that no matter how strong her love is for
him, it might not be strong enough…and she may just lose him forever.
Will Nico finally
rid himself of the demons that haunt him once and for all?
Or will Jill have
to walk away to protect herself…and their child?
The elevator opens
and we step off onto the unit. They direct us to her room and when we reach it
I take a deep breath and follow behind Gabe and Jasmine. Jill is lying in the
hospital bed with a bandage above her eyebrow and a bandage over her nose. She’s
got straps wrapped around her stomach and I hear the steady beat of our
daughter’s heartbeat. Guilt and self-loathing fill me as I sit and stare at the
woman I love and who I continue to hurt, over and over again.
We all sit in
silence while Jill lies here sleeping. The doctor had given her pain medicine
while she was downstairs and said that she’d be out for a while. With a shaky
hand I reach out and place it on Jill’s belly. I feel a thump against my hand.
At first I’m not sure I even really felt anything, but then I feel it again and
again. I feel something inside my chest snap and the tears begin to flow.
I could’ve lost
them both today all because my addictions have taken over my life. I’ve fallen
so far down the hole that I’m afraid there is no hope for me. I feel a hand on
my shoulder and look up at Gabe. There is no anger in his eyes just concern. I
look back down at Jill’s sleeping form and know what I need to do.
“Brother, I need
your help.” My voice is low and broken.
Gabe squats down
next to me. “Whatever you need. You know that.”
“I know. Can you
help me get into rehab? I need to go, now.”
There’s no way I
can do this alone.
“Okay, let me make
some calls.” He slaps me on the back, kisses his girlfriend and steps out of
the room.
“You’re doing a
brave thing.” I turn to Jasmine who is sitting in the corner.
“I should’ve done
this a while ago. I’m afraid it’s too late.” As soon as I say it my daughter
kicks my hand.
A Midwesterner and
self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five
years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction,
passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always
be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla
Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her
inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she
means business and is in the zone.
