Shattered Promises

For twenty-one-year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. She knows nothing about her past and has been haunted by the same monsters in her nightmares for months. Unemotional and numb to life, she feels disconnected from everyone-until the very first day she cries. After that, nothing in her life is the same. Her emotions slowly begin to surface, and she starts experiencing love, happiness, and anger, feelings she never knew existed. But they leave her confused; she doesn't know whether to embrace them or run away from them. Her life only gets more complicated when she meets Alex. Sexy, arrogant, and secretive, Alex can get under Gemma's skin like no one else, yet she's drawn to him by an invisible connection she has no control over. She's also seen him before-in her nightmares. Every part of Gemma's mind is screaming at her to stay away from Alex, but every other part of her is begging to get close to him. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Alex knows more about her than he first let on. As secrets about her past unravel, Gemma's life is threatened. She must figure out what's going on before she winds up dead, but the only person she can turn to for answers is the one person she isn't sure she can trust.

The second installment in the steamy Shattered Promises series, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Sorensen Gemma thought she had said her good-byes and had felt every possible emotion she could before her soul was detached again. Deep down inside, she hoped she'd never wake up from it because, in her eyes, life without emotion and memories isn't worth living. But she does wake up and discovers she can still feel and remember everything she experienced over the last few months. Alex is also telling her that everything's okay, that he didn't betray her, and that what she thought happened really didn't. Gemma isn't sure if she can trust Alex, so she tries to keep her distance from him, even though the electric connection and her desire make it nearly impossible. The only person she can trust is Laylen, but even that becomes complicated when the lines of their friendship begin to blur. While Gemma struggles with her emotions and relationships, she searches for her mother, entering a dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and evil. The further she digs into her mother's secrets and past, the more she wonders what waits for her at the end of her search and if maybe some things are better left in the dark.
