Pieces of You, Pieces of Me
by Danica Raimz

The first follow-up novella to
Ren and Galen's story!
​(*Contains graphic, intimate moments meant for readers 18+)
Amazon   BN    Kobo 

​It’s amazing how basking in love, trust, and promises, rather than self-imposed walls and emotional cut-off switches, can transform a person. I, Ren Hayden, am genuinely happy. Eight months into our relationship, Galen and I have grand and determined plans for our future together and for helping his sister create the art gallery of her dreams. We are moving past the extreme, harrowing circumstances of finding each other and settling into a new normal. After a difficult business trip in Vienna involving the obnoxious rock star, Tristan Turn, I arrive home to sweet, out-of-the-box gestures from Galen and steamy rendezvous that only confirm the depth of our love. (It’s amazing what you can get away with in a museum.) 

Not long after, Galen grows distant, behaves strangely, and admits he is keeping something from me. Does his family know what’s going on? Is it the beginning of the end for us? How could a girl like me know? Even my empathic abilities hold few clues. One thing is certain: If what Galen and I have cannot last, how could true love exist at all?

​I made a pact with myself a long time ago: Ren Hayden will never accept the ‘victim’ label. I stick to that promise, too—going on seven years now. Perhaps I’m somewhat twisted, but I easily numb the effects of my tragic life story by turning my emotions on and off as if by switch. When I can’t, I rely on three coping mechanisms that never fail me: cigarettes, writing out checks to charities, and meaningless, mind-numbing sex. A lonely life at age 23, perhaps, but living for my notable career as an entertainment journalist is enough. It’s the best I can hope for and it works for me.

Suddenly, another tragedy takes away the only person who really knew me. The loss and all the turmoil he leaves behind become the final straw for my defense mechanisms, leaving me wide open to a sincere set of ethereal, hazel eyes.

Galen Zabriese is nothing this emotion-phobic girl can afford to be near and everything the world needs to be a better place--although he would certainly say differently on both counts. And for some reason, he sees right through my faltering defenses. He knows I’m hiding things. And no matter what I say or do, he can’t keep his hands off me....
