Lily's life is left in shambles after a horrific encounter with someone close to her. But as the events afterward continue to unfold she realizes it's far from over and that he won't stop until he gets her right back where he wants her. *** WRITERS NOTE ABOUT SHATTERED (SEPTEMBER 18, 2018)*** I'm going to be making a few minor detail changes to Shattered. Shattered was a story I wrote when I was 17. I'm so immensely proud of the success the story has found on this website but there are small things about the writing that bother me when I look back on it now 5 years later. No major parts of the chapters will be altered- it will remain the same story you guys know and love. I hope no one's too disappointed by the updates. As always- thank you endlessly for the support. x

We've heard Sophie's side of the story in Rooter (Book 1 in the Double H Romance series). Now, it's time to hear Rooter's side in Becoming Jace. Sophie's previous life was a living hell. Despite being neglected and abused, she is just as lovely on the inside as on the outside. The sweetness inside of her is something Rooter craves. She is innocent, despite all the ugliness she has seen. The last thing she needs is the danger a criminal will bring. But for some unfathomable reason, she chooses him. No matter how many times he says she deserves better than what he can give, she disagrees. She isn't aware of his fear that she'll be used as leverage against him because of their involvement. His refusal to have her dragged into his past, which is inevitable if he is a part of her future, may be what keeps them apart. In spite of his pledge to never allow her to feel pain again, Rooter can't stay away. It is impossible to tell her no-to turn his back and walk away. Being with her makes him whole in ways he can't explain. When an ex makes an accusation of a brutal crime, their relationship is pushed beyond its breaking point. Will they be able to repair the rift... or is it a hurt too deep to ever be healed? ****This is a VERY ROUGH FIRST DRAFT of the soon to be published book. There will likely be spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes. *****

Oh my... That voice and that laugh. Those tattoos. Those muscles. Every single square inch of that man is pure, unadulterated perfection. Screw his reputation. I don't care that the local news has labeled him a "vicious criminal." The entire town may be afraid of him, but I'm not. I've known bad people in my life, my mom being the worst. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. If that's true, Rooter's soul is good and pure. I don't care what anyone says. I want him. Bad. And my wish comes true. After Rooter saves me from a pair of dangerous thugs, we embark on a passionate romance. But I quickly learn that while Rooter isn't quite as evil as everyone believes he is, he also isn't quite as perfect as I thought him to be either. He's as infuriating as he is sweet and as secretive as he is sexy. Worst of all is his crazy ex-friend-with-benefits who won't go away. Then comes an accusation of a brutal crime. Can our fledgling love survive? ***This story contains adult language and themes.*** ***Please note, this is NOT, I repeat NOT, the final edited version of the story. There may be mistakes with spelling and grammar. Please forgive me if and when you find them. I am saving the final edit for print publication (hopefully)***
