Broken (18+)
He was the most beautiful and enthralling man she had ever met, seductive and powerful. She was like a moth to a flame; unable to escape whatever he planned for her. (Please don't read if you are under 18.) It should have been different but it wasn't. It was the same old story of pleasure and pain that had been interlaced for so many years, but finally she got away. She had managed to stay undetected for three years when they accidentally bumped into each other again. The fear of history repeating itself was screaming in her face; run, flee! But she was frozen to the spot. Could she trust the man that had betrayed her in the most vulnerable ways? It should have all worked out, but it hadn't, could it ever? Will she be able to get away from this degrading life this time? (MATURE CONTENT!) The cover is built on a photo that is owned by LonelyPierot on DiviantArt If you care to read both Broken and Stronger, I strongly suggest you start with this one. This is the first one in this serie of three.Complete
