He was the last person she expected to fall for…

Shattered Sea, a sexy, suspenseful, small town romance from USA Today bestselling author Catherine Cowles, is out now!

I’ve known every kind of pain. Of the heart. Of the body. Of the soul. All I want now is the freedom that comes from making my art.

The last thing I expected was Hollywood royalty to waltz into my gallery in a small town in the middle of nowhere and see me.

A man like Boden Cavanaugh shouldn’t understand me. Shouldn’t be able to soothe my most ragged edges. Even worse, he makes me want the one thing I can’t have. Him.

All it takes is one spark, and friendship catches flame. But as our attraction burns bright, there are forces desperate to send us back into the darkness. And they’ve already killed before…

Keep reading for a look inside Shattered Sea!

The way Boden’s muscles tightened told me the little he’d shared was only the tip of the iceberg. That tension called to me, and I reached out, kneading the flesh along his shoulders. His head fell to my own shoulder, and he sighed. “I’ll only let you do that forever.”

I chuckled. “I do have the magic touch.”

“You could be making millions with those hands.”

“I only use them on very special recipients. They aren’t for sale.”

Boden straightened, but as he did, he came closer. Our faces were close. Lips just a breath away. The urge to lean forward, to know what he felt like, tasted like, was strong. Boden’s hand skated up my arm to my neck to tangle in my hair.

I knew that Boden Cavanaugh was more than dangerous. But like a moth to a flame, I kept getting closer.

Fall in love today!

Review:

5 stars

Another amazing read from Catherine Cowles! Shattered Sea is a story of loss and finding love again and it’s perfect. This is the fourth book in the Tattered and Torn series and it did not disappoint.

Laiken was in a car accident in high school which tragically ended in losing the love her life, now years later she’s working in an art gallery living with chronic pain from the accident and has built her walls up high to never experience that loss again.

Boden is a movie star and knows what it’s like to lose someone. He’s new in town to do some research for a movie he’s working on but what he’s not expecting is meeting Laiken and being so drawn to the women with a painful past.

Boden is so so drawn in my Laiken that he immediately wants to get to know everything about her but Laiken is slow to reveal anything to him. She slowly realises that she can lean on Boden and that they can both relate to losing someone they love.

Things start to get a little creepy when people connected to the car accident start showing up dead and Boden does everything he can to protect his girl.

I really loved Boden and Laiken together, they were so perfect for each other even though they’re from completely different lives. Boden was super sweet and never rushed Laiken, he was always there for her when she needed him. The suspense was so good and I didn’t see the end coming!

This was another great emotional read from Catherine Cowles, it was so beautiful and I could not stop reading.

I highly recommend this book and this whole series. I am DYING for the next instalment!

Laiken

I moved from the back room into the gallery, leaving Gizmo on his bed, happily chewing on a bully stick. My steps faltered as I took in the man in front of my photograph, his back to me. He wore dark jeans that hugged his hips, a flannel shirt, and a baseball cap. It was too cold for only a flannel shirt, yet I couldn’t find it in me to be sad that it was what he wore.

The shirt ghosted over defined muscles and showed just how broad his shoulders were. What was it about good shoulders? I was woman enough to admit they were my weakness.

But it was the energy that flowed off him that had me stepping forward. He paid rapt attention to the photograph in front of him. I couldn’t help the question that tumbled out of my mouth. “What do you think?”

The man didn’t turn around. “It’s one of the most visceral pieces of art I’ve ever seen.”

Visceral. This man didn’t know he’d just paid me one of the highest compliments possible. “Most people think it’s depressing.” I’d seen more than one patron scrunch up their nose at it and turn away in favor of a pretty watercolor landscape.

“It’s real. A piece of the human experience. Isn’t that what art should be?”

My heart hammered in my chest. “I think so. That and to make us feel seen. Less alone in one way or another.” That was what it had done for me time and time again. It was why I had been brave enough to shoot this self-portrait. Because I hoped to give that gift to someone else.

“Less alone,” he muttered as he stared at the image. After a few beats, he turned around.

I sucked in a sharp breath as I took in his angled features that I’d seen gracing the covers of magazines at the grocery store checkout so many times. But those photos didn’t come anywhere close to doing his eyes justice. The swirling green and gold could hold a person in a trance. “Oh, crap.”
