Can Their Broken Hearts Heal?

Good morning and welcome to Tuesday Blog Share. Today, we’ll be discussing healing broken hearts. Love is precious, an emotion rarely given a second time, especially when the couple is separated by marriages and distance. Is there a chance to heal a rift when they are single again and find themselves neighbors?
Riona endures a life of torture at the hands of her abusive husband. No one on their base suspects she and their four children are the victims of physical and emotional abuse. Following an accident, she’s alone and on her way home. Bill regrets losing the love of his life. His own world has been rocked by a vicious wife, now his ex, and soothed by the beautiful child they had. Yet, he still yearns to see Riona again, to apologize to her for his terrible mistake.

Blurb
Riona’s life of self-doubt stranded her in an abusive marriage with four small children to raise. Her children and a successful career in the Air Force made her life bearable. She needed out—and Fate handed her a way.
Once, when she was younger, there was a man she thought good until he stood her up. She had no way of knowing that he had endured a bad marriage and a bitter divorce, leaving a teenaged daughter in the middle. He had never forgotten Riona.
Both their hearts were hurting. Fate would help them heal.


Excerpt
Riona gathered her dishes, packing everything into one box. She thought about heaping the leftovers on the platters, for others to take home, but decided against it.
Hank’s probably right. There’s a lot left over. These people just don’t like my cooking.
Even though everyone had gone out of their way to tell her how much they enjoyed the food, Riona knew differently. Almost three-quarters of the twenty-pound turkey was left, more than half of the stuffing. No one had touched the homemade applesauce and cranberries, and only one slice of each pie had been taken.
I should have made less. I’m such an idiot.                            
Tomorrow would be Black Friday with great sales at the base exchange, but she would be home, decorating while Hank recovered from getting drunk. At some point over the rest of the weekend, she would have to make sure their dress blues were in great shape, find time to wrap the presents she’d bought while on temporary duty in Italy and Spain last summer, and start planning the celebration with the village children.
