ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date 17, 2024
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives? No offense, Shakespeare… but not this time. Not if I have any say over it.
Love is a four-letter word in Holden Dorsey’s family.
And I finally see why. For once, all the secrets locked away in this family surface. All the betrayals.
On the eve of our Broadway debut together, Holden’s ex comes back into the picture to drop the biggest secret of all.
She thinks she can ruin everything. The show. My career. My relationship.
But the only thing that would be more tragic than losing Holden… would be losing myself.
This time, I’m rewriting my ending. I refuse to fall on that knife for anyone ever again.
This time, Juliet not only lives… but she thrives.

REVIEW:This is the third and final book in the Shattered Hearts trilogy, and you do need to read in order with this one.
Holden and Kate have been through a lot! But can they really come back from this last event?
I’ve loved reading these books, they’ve been a real rollercoaster ride, with betrayal pain and sorrow at every turn, we see each others points of view. I really liked the diary entries, it’s not something you read every day. (Especially from the males point of view.)
There are twists and turns that will keep you reading until the last word. Moments that will have you thinking of the couple at odd moments of the day.
Their happy ever after took three books, and with each book you had to wonder if it would ever work! Both thinking they were saving each other. Didn’t that realise, that together they were better and stronger.
I liked how Holden became stronger with dealing with his parents, (they really weren’t the loving and supportive parents for Holden!) and Kate went after her dream of becoming an actress.
Yes, it’s a little like Romeo and Juliet, but they didn’t get a second chance at happiness. Kate and Holden did.
If you like your story with drama/betrayal/sorrow/miscommunication and a few plot twists, then this book/series is for you.

Sometimes they’re moments I never want to forget. Other times, like now, I just know I’ll have to live this nightmare over and over again.
So when the beautiful brunette exits out of Holden’s dressing room, I know in my gut she’s going to change my life irrevocably. She’s wearing jeans, a simple button down top, and a nervous smile as she glances between Missy and me. “I thought we were meeting with Holden?” the woman asks.
“We will,” Missy says calmly. “But first, I wanted you to meet Kate. Kate, this is Megan.”
Confused, I give the woman a slight nod as a hello. Who is she? Why is Missy bringing her out to meet me now?”
“Katherine?” Holden’s voice on the phone tries to get my attention, but my focus is locked on Megan and I can’t bring myself to answer him. “Katherine, please,” Holden begs. “Are you there?”
Megan opens her mouth to speak, regret seemingly washing over her features. “I really think we should wait for Holden in the other room.”
We.
Right then, a young boy steps out from behind her frame. He must be about eight years old or so.
He has Holden’s dark hair. Holden’s high cheekbones. And most notably, his amber brown eyes.
“Megan,” I whisper. As in Holden’s ex-girlfriend.
I drop the phone to my side as Megan shuffles herself and the little boy backwards toward Holden’s dressing room.”
Missy leans in behind me, whispering, “Can’t you just see the headlines? A Comedy of Errors: The Secret Lovechild of Holden James!” I squeeze my eyes shut against the burning pain in my sinuses as she adds, “All you have to do is give me your part and all this can go away.”
Only it can’t go away. It won’t. Because I’ll always know the truth.
This… this changes everything.”

When she was younger and stole her mother’s Harlequins to read beneath the covers with a flashlight, she wanted to read about the tough as nails heroine. The perfectly imperfect girl with quirks and attitude and sass. And the anti-heroes who were anything but “Prince Charming.” Forget the knight on a white horse … she wanted the bad boy on a motorcycle.
An avid animal lover, she lives in Portland, Maine with her kind of mean cat, derpy lab-pitt mix, mellow chihuahua, and very not mellow cairn terrier puppy. Oh, yeah… there’s a husband somewhere in that mix, too.
She can usually be found in a coffee shop with her nose buried in a laptop wearing fabulous (albeit sometimes impractical) shoes.
