Alicia Matthews never thought she would let anyone close again.
After her heart was shattered by betrayal-from a lover she thought was her soulmate and a best friend who became a stranger-Alicia closed herself off from love. Isolated and distrustful, she builds walls around her heart, vowing never to let anyone in again. But everything changes when she steps onto a college campus and meets Noah Kingston.
Noah is everything Alicia doesn't want: confident, popular, and effortlessly surrounded by people. But unlike the others, he isn't interested in breaking down her walls-he's content to simply be her friend. Slowly, and with unwavering patience, Noah becomes the person Alicia never thought she'd need: someone who sees her for who she really is and encourages her to trust again.
As their bond deepens, Alicia starts to confront her painful past, realizing that healing is not just about forgiving others-it's about forgiving herself. But just as Alicia dares to open her heart again, the weight of her old fears threatens to pull them apart. Can she overcome the scars of her past to build a future with Noah, or will the walls she's built to protect herself end up keeping them both apart?
Shattered Pieces is a powerful story about overcoming the past, learning to trust, and finding love in the most unexpected places. Join Alicia and Noah on a heartfelt journey of resilience, healing, and the transformative power of love. Can love truly heal a broken heart? For Alicia, it might be the key to finding herself again.
