Book excerpt: 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.
