(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

My Pomona College first year students in Biographies of Biologists seminar wanted to read a memoir or biography of a woman in science who had a family life and achieved family-career balance. When I couldn't find one, they urged me to write a memoir since I told them I had balanced my own career and family and still did research on the molecules of aging. Later I heard Donna Shalala say that we need many more biographies of women in science, and having surveyed the few available, I am sure she is right.
