Shattered
by Pamela Sparkman
Close your eyes for a moment and picture this. A gorgeous redhead walks into a bar. No, wait, a wedding reception. A gorgeous redhead walks into a wedding reception. Poised, polished and flawless - on the outside. He's tall, dark, and handsome, exactly like a fairytale prince and he won't take no for an answer as he leads her to the dance floor. But this will be no ordinary dance and theirs is no ordinary story. What begins as rhythmic steps on a dance floor fluidly and beautifully becomes the rhythm of two hearts meant to beat as one. Until the music stops. In a moment everything she's put behind her comes crashing down, threatening to destroy what his love has helped repair and rebuild. Life throws punches and it hits hard when you least expect it. What they learn is that sometimes, in order to be truly whole, you have to first be shattered to your very core.
