Confessions of a Broken Heart

Sometimes in a confusing world the only way to express feelings is through words on a page. I spent years trying to understand my feelings through words on paper. There are times I still do. This short poetry book was a labor of love, sadness, heartbreak, and fear from my teen years up until my mid twenties.

Second Chances

To wake up, she must let go.

Growing up, Jenna Matthews had a decent life, but she always felt like an outsider in her own family. It wasn’t until she met her fiancé,Gabe, that she felt like she belonged. However, days before her wedding,  a series of world-shattering events irrevocably
alter Jenna’s life, sending her on a path she could never imagine. Can Jenna survive the emotional journey and live the life destiny has in store for her, or will she succumb to the darkness?

For A Better Tomorrow

​Healing brought them together. The past may tear them apart.

 After everything she’s endured, Jenna Matthews is finally learning to live again. With Chiron, she’s discovered hope—proof that love can bloom after heartbreak.

Chiron has spent years running from the darkness that shaped him. But when shadows from his past resurface, they threaten to destroy the happiness that's taken root—and the woman he’s come to love. To protect their future, Chiron must confront the mistakes he’s tried to forget, while Jenna must find the courage to stand by him… even when the past threatens to pull them both under.

When whispers of danger become a fight for survival, Chiron will do anything to protect Jenna, even if it means risking his own life. But some battles can’t be fought alone, and the cost of redemption may be more than either of them is willing to pay.

When love and danger collide, Jenna and Chiron must decide if their second chance is worth risking everything—for a better tomorrow.

What Readers Are Saying

Alison G.

"Well now I’ve had a day or two to recover from this absolute beautifully painful story I had to post my review and my oh my did this make me sob but also make me smile . I’m truly blown away by this and recommend to anyone who loves a good book that can make you break and somehow put you together again."
"This book feels like something that isn't currently out there in the world of booktok and bookstagram. There is no fire lust or shedding of clothes. But it's something deeper. It's finding someone you know will be there even when you look anything but your best. This book has lived rent free in my head since I closed the final page. It left me needing more but also feeling grief for what was lost."
“Second Chances is set in modern day and has some very relatable elements. The writing flows so well, making this a quick read. BUT be prepared for the emotional journey you will go on. I feel like I went through all the emotions with Jenna and her family as they experienced them. There is definitely turmoil, stress, devastation, and pain, but there is also hope, joy, love, forgiveness, and healing. I loved the multiple points of view and that you got to experience things from so many sides of the story giving us everyone's thoughts and feelings...it made it feel very full and complete"
"There was something incredibly captivating about this book. It gives you a moment to stand back and reflect. The strength and personality of each character was just something else. Jenna is definitely an FMC I enjoyed, and I can't wait for more!"
"This book takes you on a journey that you may not be ready for, but I absolutely loved it. You see Jenna go through many different things and you can't help but feel bad for her. You also get to see her character grow and heal. A must read book."
“I really enjoyed this story. It was nothing like what I expected but in such a good way. It gives A Christmas Carol vibes. It was a pretty quickly read, too. Once I started it, I didn't want to put it down. I can't wait for book 2!"
