Glass Hearts (Awaken My Heart: Corinne and Vance, Book One)

When artist Corinne Zabriese's fianc? died, he took her innocence with him. Tired of feeling as fragile as everyone thinks she is, Corinne opens a gallery determined to wrangle her highly sensitive nature and find the strength to go after what she wants. And what she wants is the lava-hot British thriller seeker and Tantric masseuse who wanders into the debris of her shattered heart.

Wealthy world traveler VanceBanford is fiercely sexy, charming ... and captivated by the ray of sunlight that is Corinne. Having sworn off committed relationships thanks to the twisted history that follows him, he draws Corinne in as a business associate who quickly becomes a friend. That way, she'll brighten his life without suffering the trauma of his past and the risks of his present. Vance is willing to do anything for Corinne to make her future as beautiful as her painted glass-anything but admit she owns what's left of his shard-riddled heart.

Frustrated over how Vance keeps her in the friend zone despite showering her with attention, Corinne fights to cause an eruption of the volcanic chemistry bubbling between them. Surely, a man familiar with the Kamasutra has a breaking point! Unless ... well, maybe she isn't enough for him.

When Vance realizes holding Corinne at arm's length has her questioning her self-worth, he panics, impulsively igniting a desperate need for each other that unleashes heartbreak, his secret pain, and a need for Corinne to become stronger than she could ever imagine.

Glass Hearts is the first book in the second Awaken My Heart Corinne & Vance subseries.
