What's Left of Me

A contemporary romance about courage, loss, and moving on. Callie Kingston's life as an Orange County housewife isn't as perfect as it seems. Her husband isn't the same man she fell in love with nine years ago, and her home is no longer her safe haven. But she's determined to keep up appearances, especially when it comes to concealing the bruises her husband's temper leaves behind. Until Cole Luciano moves into her best friend's house across the street. He's abrasive and rude, but his steel-blue eyes tell a different story-one with dark secrets that has Callie curious. After suffering through an unspeakable tragedy, Cole settles into his sister's pool house until he can get back on his feet. He's convinced that he deserves to live with the guilt he harbors from his past, and wants nothing more than to be left alone. Yet he can't seem to stay away from his beautiful neighbor. He sees right through Callie's carefully orchestrated lies and is desperate to help her. Callie discovers more than an angry and bitter man underneath Cole's hard exterior. But when Callie finally finds the courage to create a new life for herself, Cole isn't sure if there's enough of his heart left to give in order to be the man she deserves. Can two broken souls heal each other, or are some just too damaged to be put back together? This book contains some graphic scenes and very sensitive subject matter. REVIEWS "It's very rare that an author surprises me. Kristen Granata didn't just surprise me, she completely blew me away. If you love emotional, poignant, and healing romance, you simply cannot miss What's Left of Me. A five-star must read and a lovely introduction for me to a new author I know I'll love for years to come." - Bestselling Author Kandi Steiner "This beautiful, heartrending book is a must-read. Kristen Granata delivered everything I want in a romance: romance, love, heartbreak, and healing. I'm still thinking about Cole and Callie weeks later." - USA Today Bestselling Author Ella James "I'm making a bold statement, this is easily one of my top reads of 2020 and could likely be my number 1 read of the year. Quite frankly, this is one of the best books I have ever read. Hands down Kristen's best work." - Steamy on Sundays "There have been two books that have stood out to me, two books that I still think about today: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover and Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan. After this book, I'm adding a third to that list. Kristen knocked me off my feet with this one!." - NJPennyBookReviews
