Love learned, love lost, and a love to unravel every truth she thought she knew. 

Anna Weston was never looking for love. New York City was supposed to be the backdrop of her wildest dream-to live freely, fully, and dance her way across stages into the hearts of those who watched, leaving small town Iowa behind in all of its dirt road and corn field dust. Finding love was never her plan, until one freak encounter at a subway station would change her self-centered existence forever.

A man in a uniform with a heartbreakingly handsome smile, a heart of gold and a hometown hero backstory derails everything she thought she knew about herself, and what she wants. But the golden, perfect life offered to her in the palm of his hand is extinguished before it ever gets a chance to start by a crime she saw coming, and he never could have predicted. 

Anna's singular existence comes crashing back down on her after the shattering of the greatest love she'd ever known-a love she never wanted, a love she should have turned away. She tries to piece herself back together after the dust settles, navigating her past in order to put together some semblance of a future. A chance encounter with an Englishman after a failed therapy session serves as the catalyst for her to finish her epilogue, and start the painful process of starting fresh with her first new, unchartered chapter.

So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.
