The Hateful Heavy Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218801588)

RUGGIERO

I left love behind in the Friulian hillsides six years ago and sowed roots in southwestern Tennessee. I fill its void by keeping my hands busy at the car repair shop, reading fiction, and sharing intimate nights with people I'll never see again. Usually, I'm okay parting ways with just a few words-until her.

Life's too short to wait around for someone to love me. As a geriatric nurse, I know that fact all too well. After I caught my ex cheating with a woman he's now engaged to, I stalk the bars for willing participants to satisfy my carnal needs. Usually, I never double dip, ensuring there are no strings; life is entertaining enough with Sunday family dinners and my penchant for reality TV. But he is an itch I can't scratch.
