Description
From family dysfunction to coming of age, dare to be vulnerable--sometimes it means learning to really live.
There are times in our lives when we encounter love so profound and so powerful, the life you’ve always planned gets interrupted by the love you’ve desperately and secretly longed for.
Such is the case for eighteen-year-old Nicky Young. Broken promises were typical in her household, when growing up in a family battling alcoholism. All she's ever strived for is attending Stanford, escaping her home and launching her career, where she can control her own destiny.
Now that high school is officially over for Nicky, the very hot and very desirable professional baseball star, Ryan Tilton, has other ideas.
As their relationship begins to heat up, Ryan wants her to commit to him. He's been waiting for Nicky since she came of age, and has begun a slow seduction, gently coaxing her to the next level of intimacy.
Nicky wants him, too, but she is suspicious of his intentions, especially when women line the railings at the ball park and eye him when they're out together, seemingly waiting to take her place as soon as she leaves his side.
How can she commit herself to Ryan when she is so close to the independence she has longed for ever since she was a young girl?
Nicky tries to let herself go, and open to the possibilities of sex, but childhood memories of being abused by her father and her sister’s rape at the age of fourteen bring on feelings of deep shame that come pouring through Nicky’s mind.
She desperately wants to open her heart but cannot live though the pain of being abandoned again, as she's been so many times by her mother and father, who have morphed into their own disaster.
What lengths will she go to stay strong when what she really craves at the deepest levels of her being might be standing right in front of her?
And if she allows herself to be with a boy, will he be able to understand and have the patience to stay with her, a woman already damaged from the fear of "another bad thing coming" and that "nothing good lasts for long."
Fire Heart is the second novel in the Broken Bottle Series which is loosely based on the author’s life growing up in San Francisco. This inspired New Adult Romance and Women's Fiction Saga novel examines the dance between love and protecting one’s heart, and the innate desire to connect with another, even when it means taking down the walls she's so carefully built for protection and risking every belief she's come to know.
