All of Faith Hitchin’s rules are broken, shattered forever with a promise made in front of glass. It should be easy; plan a wedding, prepare for a TV show and spend her life with the man she loves. But, the demons of the past don’t care about rules and promises. As Elijah and Faith try to carve a life for themselves, deep secrets long buried will come to challenge them one final time. Old friendships will break her heart as her past and present clash with tragic results. While Faith faces the memories of her shattered childhood and the Faircloughs play games with her future. 

She had one rule: never sleep with someone twice. Then Faith Hitchin met Elijah Fairclough, and the baroness’ son with the heart of an artist scorched her rule out of existence. Then he shattered her heart. Burned and hurting, Faith battles to regain control of the protective barriers she keeps around her heart. But when two souls meet with the passion and fire of artist and muse, walking away may not be an option. When Faith’s last rule smashes and takes them both down with it, there may be tears of glass neither of them can survive.

Faith Hitchin wears the shadows of the past on her skin for all to see. To a stranger’s eye she is a girl with sass and tattoos, a lover of art. But beneath the mystery of swirls and ink she is woman alone and in pain. When opportunity knocks in the form of an invitation to an art project that could change the direction of her life, she’s afraid to move forward. But, like her namesake, she pushes past all inhibitions and takes a leap of faith. The last thing she imagines is a summer of self-discovery at the hands of a sexy baroness’ son.
