"Some monsters are made to protect. But never to be loved." Annelly He found us. Now James and I are on the run-again. But it's not just the danger we're fleeing. It's the wreckage of what we almost had. I know what he's risking-what he's already sacrificed. Part of me still believes in him. Still wants him. But with every mile between us and the home he built, I feel him slipping into someone colder, harder... someone I might not be able to reach. And I can't stop wondering if I'm the one who broke him. Maybe loving James was always going to end this way-with me watching him fall apart, and knowing I'm the reason. James I promised to protect her. But no one told me it would mean losing everything that matters. My home. My brother. My chance with her. Now we're running, and with every step, I leave more of myself behind-including the man I was trying to become. The one she almost believed in. But he's not enough anymore. What she needs now is the version of me I swore I'd never be again. The monster I buried. The one who knows how to end this. Unleashing him might save her life, but it will destroy the one thing I can't bear to lose. Maybe loving her was always going to end like this-with me becoming the monster she could never love. In the Broken Redemption World, as danger closes in, love may not be enough to save them-and sacrificing the future they dreamed of might be the only way to survive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of James & Annelly's Broken Redemption arc.

"Not all monsters hide in the dark. Some smile when they break you." Annelly I'm in trouble-the kind of trouble that has me fleeing from my life in the middle of the night, leaving everything behind. Ruby Creek, the small town where I grew up, seemed like my safest refuge-until I ran straight into him. James Serrano, the man who shattered my heart, sees through my fear and insists on helping me. He promises to protect me, to be the man I once believed he could be. But trusting him again feels impossible when all I can remember is the pain of his indifference and how easily he erased me from his life. James I like my life simple and carefree-no attachments, no drama, no regrets. But when Annelly Conners reappears, scared, heartbreakingly vulnerable, yet so fiercely captivating, she unravels everything I thought I wanted. If I were smart, I'd walk away like I did before. Instead, I'm breaking every rule I've lived by to protect her-even if it means facing the feelings I swore I'd long buried. She's everything I don't want but seem to need. And now I'm making promises I'm not sure I can keep-because losing her again? That's a risk I refuse to take. In the Broken Redemption World, one woman's fight to reclaim her life collides with a man's war between love and self-preservation-but the danger closing in could destroy them both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James & Annelly's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, that journey begins with Lucas & Emilia, whose story starts in Broken Vows (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).

"Some monsters aren't meant to be feared... but to be loved back into the light." Annelly
 Everything is falling apart, and James is shattering faster than I can reach him. Every step we take toward safety drags him deeper into the darkness and further from me. He's angry, broken, hurting in ways I can't fix-and I'm terrified. Of losing him. Of failing him. Of not being enough to bring him back. But I won't let the man I love go without a fight. Not when he's fought so fiercely for me. Not when I still believe we can find our way back. Regardless of what he wants... it's my turn to save him. Even if loving him through the wreckage is the hardest thing I've ever done. James
 I'm losing myself, and with every hour that passes, I can feel the future we wanted slipping further out of reach. The darkness I fought for years is clawing its way back, twisting everything-my thoughts, my control, the man I swore I'd never be again. I'm angry, hurting, unraveling faster than I can contain-and I'm terrified. Of losing her. Of failing her. Of breaking her. Of becoming the very monster she's running from. When I said I'd protect her, I meant from every danger-including me. But she won't give up. She won't back down. She's still fighting for us with everything she has. She believes love can pull me out of this...
But I'm terrified I'll destroy every last piece of her hope long before she saves me. In the Broken Redemption World, every step toward survival threatens their love-and salvation may come with a price neither is ready to pay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of James & Annelly's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.
