Description

(Book 1) Betrayed by the woman he loved and on the verge of destitution, artist Jonathan Martinez channels his anguish and rage into what will become his greatest masterpiece—Passion and Betrayal. The painting, critically acclaimed, ushers him into the world of fine art and allows him to realize his dreams. Stepping out of the shadows, he transforms into Phillipe, a wealthy artist and sought-after bachelor who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle—including his pick of any woman he desires. But when Phillipe least expects, the woman who almost destroyed him returns on the arm of his agent. Despite his anger, she awakens the part of his soul he entombed long ago. The part of him that can never forget her, no matter how deeply he buries himself in his art. With everything he's accomplished at stake, can Phillipe overpower the demons that haunt him and learn to love again? Or will his heart remain a shattered work of art that can never be restored?

Story Behind The Book

Upon reflection, I realize the story of Anastasia came to me in phases. I remember watching my one and a half year old niece and nephew toddling in and out of the summertime rain showers one day. To them, the rain was similar to a sprinkler and it was a lot of fun. It occurred to me that day that most everything can be viewed from a positive or negative perspective. Most of the time, we don’t enjoy the rain and it drives us indoors. In actuality, it nourishes our planet and without it nothing could live. Certainly that thought did not occur to a couple of children while they played in the sprinkles and marveled at a rainbow when the sun reappeared, but their perspectives opened my eyes and my mind. It was sometime after that day that I created a little girl who always ran into rain showers, but the rain was not a negative. For some reason, the name Anastasia Pickering came to mind and from there, my little girl came to life. I knew she must have a dog (being a big animal lover) and I knew there had to be something a little different about Anastasia. It took several years before my book became a reality. Sometimes life's little surprises can get in the way. I am very happy to share this little girl, her dog Rufus and her very wise fairy, Patience.
