Shattered Hearts (The Climax Chronicles, #1) / The Climax Chronicles (ePub)

Crimson Island is the last place in the world Calla Crane wants to be. She's only back to fix up her parents' dilapidated property and see her best friend. She hates that she's now the topic of conversation on an island where gossip is the national pastime, and the curious stares ask why she's back without the husband she so defiantly left town with. She keeps her head down on her checklist, and her plan works until she hires Diego Luna to landscape her yard.

Diego is gorgeous. However, the last thing Calla needs is another gorgeous man. Her defenses drop a little bit more when she learns Diego is also very sensitive when he offers her a broad shoulder to cry on, and any other part of his body she'd like to have.

Calla can't trust the desire in his eyes, even as her body clamors for him. She finds it hard to believe that a man as beautiful as Diego would want a woman with some extra pounds and extra baggage when even the man she'd married had repeatedly cheated on her.

She finally gives in and accepts the solace and pleasure Diego offers while her shattered heart and damaged ego look on in suspicion. How can she trust a man who wants so much from her, yet emotionally gives her nothing of himself?
What is Diego hiding that he cannot share with her?

Though Calla blossoms like a rare flower in Diego's arms, she can't get past his secrets. Will the self-confidence he planted in her be the very thing which gives her the strength to walk away from him and into the arms of another man?

This steamy romance is the first installment in a series and contains a threesome scene before Calla and Diego find their way to true love.
