Shattered

WARNING: Mature audience only! 18+ This novel contains violence, extreme sexual content, and dark scenes that are not for the faint of heart. WARNING: Dark Erotica/BDSM Love is blind, right? Well, it's especially blind when you've got two black eyes and they're swollen shut. Raine knows this all too well. Sometimes, the beatings are so bad that she welcomes death. She longs for it. She just doesn't have the guts to do it herself. She thinks she deserves it. Rather the loving sound of a husband's beating heart as he lays next to her in bed, her home is filled with the sound of the flesh of his fists making contact with her bones. However, Raine doesn't realize that not ALL men aren't abusive women-haters. Her blackened eyes have kept her from seeing real love--right under her bleeding and broken nose. The man that truly deserved her heart and would treat her like the beautiful soul she is--Tyler. Tyler has been in love with her since he first laid his eyes on her. He knows better than to try to force an abused woman to leave their spouse before they're truly ready, but he knows he is running out of time as the beatings are getting worse and worse. Still, he remains steadfast in doing what he can to save her, though he feels it isn't enough. Will Tyler get to her before her soul and body are truly broken forever? Will he be able to save her, or are his efforts in vain? Only time will tell... Note: Domestic violence is no joke. It is not something to be taken lightly. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please do not stand idly by. Reach out to them no matter what. Help them, direct them to resources, and let them know they are not alone--that even if they do not talk to you for years---that they can come to YOU when they're ready to leave. Dr. Phil McGraw's wife, Robin McGraw, has created and promoted an app through her program, "When Georgia Smiles" that a victim can secretly use to notify law enforcement that he or she needs help.
