Book Cover & Preview Text
She swept into my life and cut my heart into pieces. I just hoped she'd soften up over time. But, things got worse as she then decided to give me the ax. Barely able to breathe I tried to voice a protest. She said nothing and was so cold she seemed almost inhuman. I tried again with a lacerated heart but the iron in her eyes gave me the shivers. The blood froze in my veins as fear and the dark, thorny side of love surrounded me. A frightening, cold and dark emptiness made itself comfortable in my heart. Sweet Lord, if love is nothing but a game is there a saint to look after the lovelorn? Will the wounded hearts be consoled and given enough strength to move on?
