Ethan Scott lost his job. As top chef to an elite resort, he heated the kitchen with more than just the stove ... and got caught. A blow to his ego in more ways than one, he’s forced to move back to his hometown when a position for a personal chef opens. His new boss is a recluse in the woods and he’s heard the stories. Determined to make the best of things, nothing prepares him for the sight of his new employer or her feisty attitude.
Ella Vincent gave up her career without a choice. As a former model, the gruesome scars on her once lovely face won’t sell beauty products. Finding refuge in a secluded home in the woods near Elk Lake City seemed like a good idea until her brother hires someone to look after her. Her new employee is more than handsome in the face; he’s a thorn in her side.
Sometimes it takes a bruised heart to see more than the beauty our eyes can behold.

Meet L.B. Dunbar
I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination.
To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet).
My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males.
I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

This Heart Collection series makes each sense, the central theme and skillfully weaves the story about it.
“Sometimes we don’t see what’s right before us, but when we stop and look with our hearts instead of our eyes, we learn so much more about a person. Things we can’t define with just our sight but recognize in here.”
Isabella Vincentia is hiding, away from prying eyes, away from her glamorous life and a danger that circles her in the periphery
And that's where Dunbar comes in. She makes us SEE, not just LOOK the beauty hidden behind mauled and mangled façade of survivors. All wrapped in her trademark, soft sentimental undertones, the story of two people intent on hating each other, somehow manage to unveil the hidden gems in their personalities.
Of characters, Ethan Scott is handsome, sexy and All Alpha...and he can heart up the kitchen like no other!!
Swooooooooooooon
Set in Elk Ridge town on the shore of Michigan Lake, small town feels are predominant. Family supports prominent. Sometimes stepping in to give some straight talk to set the son's confused mind right too!!
“Someday, someone’s going to come along and knock the wind out of your sails. If she suffers, you suffer. If she hurts, you hurt. But when she loves, there will be nothing like that feeling. Nothing.” He takes a deep breath.
“You’ll think with your heart, not your head or your dick, Ethan, and it’s going to make all the difference.”
I love how Dunbar emphasizes these two factors so lovingly in her sweet stories.
I was horrified at what happened in the past in the story but she doesn't let hope die and cynicism creep in.
A feel good story in a heart touching series. Pick up for a good time
4.5 stars for Fragile Hearts
