Spotlight ‘Fractured’ by Leanne Pearson

For twenty three year old Katrina Smith,
the events of one day irrevocably changed her life.

Life in Christchurch, New Zealand, couldn’t
have been better. She was in love with a wonderful man, had a job she enjoyed,
and had her life mapped out before her…

What dawned as a typical summer’s day,
changed into a day of devastation and overwhelming loss. An insidious danger
lay beneath the benign land surface, seismic tension, like a ticking time-bomb,
was counting down to a catastrophe. And Kate and her boyfriend, Daniel, were in
its path. It took mere seconds for the world to be ripped out from under her.
Suddenly, Kate was deluged by a vortex of Post Traumatic Stress, guilt and
crippling anguish. 

Dominic Dell’Antonio, an American marine
working in New Zealand, was a man hiding from his own demons which lurked
behind depth-less blue eyes that read so much, yet yielded so little. He kept
himself aloof and isolated. Nightmares regularly plagued him.

As Kate slipped under a suffocating wave of
heartache, she blocks out the world behind self imposed walls, drowning in the
torrents of grief. Quiet, yet commanding, Dominic connects with Kate on some
inexplicably deeper level. He wants to protect her. He wants to make her his.

Two damaged and guarded souls drawn
together through tragic circumstances. Two lonely hearts drawn to one another
to find comfort.
