Shattered Synopsis:
He was finally home, but guilt weighed heavily on his soul.
She's been broken, running from a past she can't seem to escape.
Two childhood friends, beaten down by life, find their way back to each other after years of pain and torment. As passion and desire rises, can Jasmine and Angel find solace in each other’s arms? Or, are the shattered pieces of their lives too much for either of them to put back together?
Join them on an intoxicating ride through life. With ups and down, laughs and tears, they’ve survived for this long being broken. Can they survive it just a little longer to find their own happy ending?

I genuinely wanted to know her though, as intimately as I
could outside of sex. I wanted to get inside her mentally and emotionally. I
wanted her to lay all her walls down and not hide anything from me. I wanted
the privilege to love all of her, even the ugly parts.
I was man enough to admit that it was a little unfair of me
to ask her to open up when I could barely let my guard down around her. I
wanted her to accept the man I was, to love all of who I was. I knew there
couldn’t be a chance for those things to ever happen until I took that risk
with her.
I watched as Jasmine anxiously shifted her weight from one
foot to the next before visibly trying to relax. She leaned against the
railing, crossing her arms, clearly waiting for me to continue.
I chuckled despite myself. I was surprised at how well she
held herself together tonight. She was amazing. No matter how hard I pushed,
she stood her ground and remained beside me, forcing me to accept the comfort
and support she was offering. She didn’t crack or fold under the pressure or
run in the other direction. Shit, if anything, she was ready to attack the
hurdle that was barreling straight towards me.
If I learned anything tonight, it showed me what a force
Jasmine would be by my side if I let her. But, tonight was just one night.
There would be others and some were guaranteed to be way worse than tonight.
Did Jasmine have the strength to do this all the time?
Loving a battered man wasn’t easy. Shit, this whole relationship wouldn’t be
easy with all our baggage. But we’d never know if we could survive it unless we
took that risk with each other.
I thought back to the conversation with John. He told me he
always knew Brooke was the one for him. He knew she would always accept him no
matter the circumstances. And he was right, given that she agreed to marry him
knowing the uphill battle they had.
I told John I was amazed she stood by him through it all.
His response was, ‘That’s what you do
when you love someone. You accept their baggage and deal with the shit life
throws at you along the way. You just learn to become a team and deal with it
together. That’s the only way you’re going to survive it.’
I wondered if we would ever be able to get to that level. In
such a short time we’ve come a long way, and in the same breath we’ve managed
to push ourselves backwards.
Nicole Banks Bio:
My name is Nicole Banks. I was born Aug 4th (Hello my fellow Leo’s lol) I’ve lived in New York City all my life and I love it here. It’s not what it use to be but, it’s still pretty dope.
I love the warm weather and just being near the water. I think every problem can be solved with either yoga, tea or a quick nap. (Nothing is too big that those three things can’t solve)
I like animals way more then people, cats especially. I think they’re my kindred spirits. If I could I would have a sanctuary built just for them. (I’m probably going to be that crazy lady with ten cats when I’m wrinkled and grey).
I can survive off of pizza and pasta and I’m a coffee addict. I have so much caffeine in my system I can’t have coffee after a certain time or I’ll be up half the night lol.
While I’m a writer, music is my first love. Books are a second love of mine. I believe music heals your soul in ways nothing else can. I use music as my muse to write. I believe every song is just a story waiting to be told outside of the five minute mark.
I published my first book Shattered in 2013 and it’s the first book in my Shattered Hearts Series. The second book Into Pieces was published on June 30th 2015. I’m currently working on the next installment in the series.
