TRAGICALLY BROKEN: The Broken Series, Book 1
Her past brought us together, but it was mine that tore us apart. She was stunning-long, wavy hair and a smile that could bring a man to his knees. The moment my eyes locked onto hers, there was no one else. Not the party around me. Not the blonde on my lap whispering in my ear. Just her. I told myself it was nothing. My eyes wandered to beautiful women all the time. But there was just something about this one that drew me in. I needed to talk to her, needed to know her. That's why, when the girl on my lap tried to stake her claim, I was quick to shut her down. But I was too late. The brunette was already gone-vanished like a fire had been lit beneath her feet. A scream. That's how I found her. Crumpled beneath the trees. Battered. Broken. I held her until help arrived, but somewhere between finding her and letting her go, she'd already carved herself into parts of me I'd never get her out of. I couldn't forget her-couldn't let go of what had happened to her. And apparently neither could he. Because the man who assaulted her is back, and he's not letting her go without a fight. I just didn't expect I'd become the reason for everything that came next. ___________ PLEASE NOTE: This book contains dark themes and sensitive subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.
