a HEART BLEED novel

Reina

Grief. There's nothing on earth like it. My life was shattered, and there wasn't enough sympathy in the world to fix it. A handsome stranger did something extremely kind. It touched my heart, and our missed connection was a constant thought. He was gone. There was no way to find him, not in a city this big. I had given up hope when he walked into Blue Notes Café. His gray eyes were the color I had been imagining. His voice was incredible, and his playful smile was kind of flirty. My life wasn't set up for Levi. I was a struggling artist on the wrong side of heartache. My everything was put into working long shifts and hustling up more cash to keep my family home. Still, I was drawn to him.
