Call it what you will, but I knew the very second that I met Mary that my life had finally started.

She was singing “Unbreak My Heart” by Toni Braxton while running through the rain.

Mary Marsh

It was one of the worst days of my life. The sitter was late which meant I was late and it resulted in my losing my job. It wasn’t much of a job, but it was all I had. We had.

Since my husband’s death two years ago, I have merely existed for my four year old son.

Jobless and depressed I wondered around the city all day.

Night was approaching and it started to rain. Rushing through the rain I ran into him.

On one of the worst days of my life I began to breathe.

 

Is my heart still too broken to love again?

Or will Andrew UnBreak my heart?

Dedication

Sneaky aren’t I? You thought the next book that would be published was Shattered Dreams... then I would be writing Beauty and the Beast. I fooled you. Well, I fooled myself as well.

That was the plan. I finished Shattered Dreams and sent it to the editor. Then I planned to take a day or two off and get started on Beauty and the Beast. However, you know what they say about best laid plans...

I was sitting here thinking about Beauty and the Beast, the fact I’m sick, and how I planned to write feeling like crap when it hit me; a romantic comedy with a little spice thrown in. Up to this point you guys have seen dark romance from me so I want to show you that I do know what the light looks like. That I’ve at least had a glimpse of it once, or at least something that resembled it.

Now without further ado let me introduce you to Mary and Andrew.

Chow,

Angela

Prologue

Two Years Earlier

It’s another rainy day in the beautiful city of Seattle Washington. No, I’m not being sarcastic, I love Seattle, and I love the weather. I may be the odd one out, but I truly do. Although today, I’m not too happy. Like the rain cloud that is hovering over the city, I too have one over me. Today is my two year wedding anniversary.

I’m on my way to pick Gabe up from a play date and can’t help but to allow my mind to wonder. With normal couples, it is a day to celebrate their unconditional love to one another. Me? It is my prison, a life sentence, one of my own making.

To add insult to injury, I woke this morning with a bad feeling about today. I just knew deep down in my bones that today was not going to end well.

I’m not a bitch. I do care about my husband, Michael, but I don’t love him and never did. Michael doesn’t love me either. We married because I got pregnant with Gabe.

I was eighteen when I met Michael, and he was thirty-two. I like him and he enjoyed my company. One night, things got a little heated and I lost my virginity to him. The only good thing that came from that night was Gabe.

The sex was painful, and Michael lasted long enough for him to get off. I, on the other hand, had to finish myself off in the bathroom after he rolled over and went to sleep.

My life with Michael up to this point hasn’t been all that bad, but how can a person live without love, compassion, and warmth?

Michael was forced to marry me when my parents found out about us. They wanted me to abort Gabe. Their reasoning; he was created out of wedlock and they wouldn’t support a bastard kid. I refused, of course, so Michael married me.

Michael has always provided for us and we never wanted for anything. He is a wonderful father and lawyer. His work ethic and character are impeccable.

Over the years, Michael has had his share of lovers on the side. Yes, I know about them all. He had them and I had Gabe. I love my son more than anything, but I fear that he is all I will ever have. Life is lonely for me. I can live without sex, but I can’t live without love. However, what man would want an already made family? If he would want children, he
