Download or read book Jaded Heart The Donnellys book 4 written by Dorothy F. Shaw and published by Red Queen Publications. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even jaded hearts can be tempted into trying again. When Angela Donnelly heads to Arizona for a family event, she meets older and hotter than hell, Garrett James. Garrett runs a small concert venue on the outskirts of Phoenix…and that’s about as close as he wants to come to the music biz. His hey-day in the late 90s, playing bass and singing with his band, Copper Seven, is long gone. Far from the limelight and willingly single, the only woman Garrett wants or needs in his life is his daughter. That is until he meets the way too young for him, Angie. Long dark hair and long legs have always been his downfall and Garrett can’t keep his eyes, or his hands off of her. Angie might be young, but she’s no fool. She knows a good thing when she’s found one—Garrett is a once in a lifetime good thing for her. But Garrett can’t seem to convince Angie that he’s not her once in a lifetime anything. As far as he’s concerned, he’s absolutely the wrong man for her with nothing to offer someone as promising as Angie. Angie recognizes that Garrett has his heart fully guarded. But when he gives her everything she wants, except his heart, she knows this will be the fight of her life. And Angie won’t back down. Or give up. Warning: This book contains a very broken hero and a very determined heroine. An age gap, and a lot of angst. On a more serious note, here’s the trigger warning: Jaded Heart goes into detail about what alcoholism and drug addiction can do to a person. It also touches on a past death as a result of an overdose and the effect that has on family members.

But the Grand Season has just begun, and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry.

When entertainer Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. A telekinetic like her, he has traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. He sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with potential to master her power under his tutelage. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairytales, and Hector is hiding a truth from Nina — and himself—that threatens to end their courtship before it truly begins. Silvia Moreno-Garcia's The Beautiful Ones is a charming tale of love and betrayal, and the struggle between conformity and passion, set in a world where scandal is a razor-sharp weapon.
