Book Description
EVEN THE STRONGEST HEART CAN BREAK. Gabe I can't be with you anymore. That's what she said when she tore my heart into pieces as I lay in a hospital bed. Those words, they cut deeper than any wounds I bore on my flesh. And almost six years later, nothing has hurt me more. Now she's back, begging for a job at my company, desperate for money. I swore I'd make her hurt if I ever saw her again, but one look and I'm back to a place where she once loved me. Where nothing ruined us. And now, being so close, my name on her lips, could we ever go back? Or will we repeat the ghost of our past? Mia I didn't want to leave him. But I had to. Or so I thought. Back then, staying seemed impossible. I was held captive by my own fear. It wouldn't allow me to see that loving him was all I needed. But I'm back now and I want him. But there's something he doesn't know--the real reason why I left. And once he finds out, the second chance I've dreamed of will be nothing but a fantasy. Fragile Pieces is the 4th book in the Fragile Hearts series and a complete standalone, but you first meet the hero in Fragile Scars.

The House of Fragile Things
Author: James McAuley
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300252544
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destruction In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.

Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A thrilling novel from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger about the hunt for a missing girl and one community’s intricate yet fragile bonds. “[A] nail-biting nuanced whodunit.”—People Everybody knows everybody in The Hollows, a quaint, charming town outside of New York City. It’s a place where neighbors keep an eye on one another’s kids, where people say hello in the grocery store, and where high school cliques and antics are never quite forgotten. As a child, Maggie found living under the microscope of small-town life stifling. But as a wife and mother, she has happily returned to The Hollows’s insular embrace. As a psychologist, her knowledge of family histories provides powerful insights into her patients’ lives. So when the girlfriend of her teenage son, Rick, disappears, Maggie’s intuitive gift proves useful to the case—and also dangerous. Eerie parallels soon emerge between Charlene’s disappearance and the abduction of another local girl that shook the community years ago when Maggie was a teenager. The investigation has her husband, Jones, the lead detective on the case, acting strangely. Rick, already a brooding teenager, becomes even more withdrawn. In a town where the past is always present, nobody is above suspicion, not even a son in the eyes of his father. As she tries to reassure him that Rick embodies his father in all of the important ways, Maggie realizes this might be exactly what Jones fears most. Determined to uncover the truth, Maggie pursues her own leads into Charlene’s disappearance and exposes a long-buried town secret—one that could destroy everything she holds dear.

Fragile Scars

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
SOMETIMES THE DEEPEST SCARS ARE THOSE NO ONE SEES. Damian I swore I'd never love anyone. But that all changed when I met Lilah, my new neighbor. One look at her deep blue eyes and shy, teasing smile, and all I want to do is take her in my arms and protect her forever. The attraction between us is undeniable. The passion she stirs in me is like nothing I've ever experienced. There's only one thing stopping me--the man who calls himself her boyfriend. The one who lies to her. The one who hurts her. I'll do anything to get her away from him. If only I can get her to trust me first. Lilah I may appear to have it all--a great job, a cool apartment, a gorgeous boyfriend . . . but underneath that perfect exterior are bruises left by a monster who claims to love me. I'd lost all hope of escaping, until I met Damian. I know I shouldn't want him. I know I shouldn't cling to him like he's my last hope of survival. But I do it anyway. And it may cost us everything. "It was non-stop drama, you feel both characters' pain...passion...the frustration...betrayal and love...I'm speechless." -- Goodreads Review Fragile Scars is the 1st book in the Fragile Hearts series. All the books in the series are interconnected standalone romances with a different couple, but past couples and characters do make an appearance in later books. Author Note: This story contains realistic depictions of domestic violence, as well as sexual and emotional abuse. If these are triggers for you, please proceed with caution.
