The Diamond of the Rockies series ~Kristen Heitzmann~

“To rise to higher joy is to risk a deeper sorrow. Do I dare reach for the sun?” (The Rose Legacy)

Quillan Shephard, though strong outwardly, is buried inside by fear of love and vulnerability. The scars run deep. Unable to live dependently, he hides his soul, and bares a pirate face, warding off all who reach and endeavor to care.

Except one.

Carina.

“Ah, mia bella Carina.”

“I've always felt out of step. Like literally stumbling through my life.” (Eclipse) 

Bella Swan, quiet and discontent, knew not the loneliness that plagued her soul. Faces blurred in a crowd and no one stood out to her as unique. Monotony characterized her simple life, until she met her greatest adventure.

Edward Cullen, quiet and discontent, knew the loneliness that plagued his soul. Searching for her, he lived his life in seclusion, hiding his soul, and baring an angel’s face, warding off all who reached and endeavored to care. 

Except for one.

Bella.

“Plus que ma propre vie.”

Adventure. Beauty. Love. A life different than the one I have been dealt. 

Jessica Jansma, adventurous and discontent, knows the deepness of her soul, though others see the external detriments. Faces stand out in crowds, and she searches for ones who reach and endeavor to care. When will she find one who will never leave? When will she find contentment in her adventure? When will peace be enough?
