Everything
in Duke Grayson’s life was all he could ever ask for: A loving family, loyal
friends, a beautiful girlfriend, and a scholarship to his top choice college.
It’s his senior year of high school, and all he needs is to focus on his
grades, lacrosse, and keeping his girlfriend happy. That is until Raya walks
into his life.
From the moment they meet, Duke is drawn to her, not only for her natural
beauty and her stunning crystal blue eyes, but because he’s aware there’s more
to this girl than just his alluring pull to her. He senses secrecy and
fear.
Throughout the year, their bond grows stronger, and his feelings for her become
undeniable. Just when he is about to express his love, tragedy strikes and Raya
disappears.

and blames himself for failing to protect her. Until the day, she’s found, and
he’s given a second chance. Will Duke become her beacon of hope and make her
see that it’s the little things that make life worthwhile? Can Raya overcome
her fears and fight against the terrors that haunt her? Or will her dark and
torturous past be too much for her to battle against?

Shattered and Shaken (Shaken Series #1)
Julie Bailes
If someone asked me to describe myself using only one word, I’d tell them damaged. I’m completely broken, irreparable. On the outside, I appear beautiful and bright, but on the inside, my soul is black and empty. I haven’t always been this fragile, scared, and heartbroken woman. Nope. I had the life my peers envied; happily married parents, captain of the volleyball team, and a dangerously sexy and loving boyfriend. Then, faster than I could blink, my life went to hell in a gasoline-soaked hand basket.
Cancer struck. The sting of death pierced my heart, and my so-called ‘loving’ boyfriend left me. Wyatt shattered my heart into a million pieces when he left, but little did he know, it wasn’t just me he walked away from. Four years later, Blake changes everything. Unlike Wyatt, Blake treasures my heart. Blake claims I’m beautifully broken, and that he can fix me, but I know differently.
How can you put something together without all its pieces? You can’t. When Wyatt left, he took most of my heart away with him. You see, hearts are like broken glass; you can put it back together again, but it will never be the same. While I’m undeserving of Blake’s love, he deserves every bit of mine. My biggest fear is that I’ll crush his heart, just as Wyatt did mine.
Born and raised in Nashville, TN, wife of one, mother of three, and chocolate fanatic! Author of Shattered and Shaken, due to release mid September. I attend nursing school full time, but in my spare time I love spending time with my family watching movies, eating junk food, and every once in a while a girls night out on the town. I enjoy reading, even though I haven’t read much since I’ve began my journey as author. I live by the motto “Live life as if you’re dying, Laugh until your stomach hurts, Love until your heart stops beating, and never judge.” Simple rules to follow. We never know what someone else is going through or what they have been through. Life is too short to be angry, unforgiving, or depressed. Each day is a gift from God that can be taken at any given moment- embrace the gift of life….
