After years of torment and pain, I'm just a shadow of the woman I once was. Even now, after months of freedom, the lingering aches of broken bones, and the memories of unspeakable horrors still keep me from living a life of peace.
While I try my best to put back all the broken pieces, the last thing I need is another man-or so I thought.
Jake is one of Hollywood's hottest, most popular actors. He's the kind of man a woman like me should avoid at all costs. But his determination to prove to me that happiness is more than just a shattered dream slowly starts to break down my defenses, and I start to hope that I might still be able to find love.
Unfortunately, with a painful history like mine, hoping for a better future can turn out to be a huge mistake-especially when the demons of your past refuse to let you go.

Nine Years
Vera: When I was little, I never would have imagined myself at 26 years old, waitressing at a shitty Tavern, in the West Side. I also couldn't have predicted I would meet the most perfect man to sweep me off my feet at said Tavern. Life is seeming too good to be true, until this perfect man reveals his dirty secret that lands me in the middle of a war thats been brewing for almost a decade. But, how can I stay away from the man who makes me feel more alive than i've felt in years? Do I even want to stay away? My head is telling me to run, but my heart wont let me go. Tyler: When my classmates and I got assigned a project to build a business model during sophomore year at Yale, I never would've guessed it would change my entire life. That year I met my best friends and we've built a billion dollar company that's become the most successful medical equipment supply company in the country. From the outside, I'm living the dream, in luxury. Expensive cars, penthouse apartments and anything I want at the snap of my fingers. But someone like me doesn't get to where I am without lies, betrayal and enemies. I just never thought my worst enemy would be my best friend.Lengkap

How do you escape a man who has become your shadow? No way... It's impossible to escape. It's impossible to hide. Living with it is unbearable.

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia'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, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Lengkap

I'm done being kept in the dark while he fights battles that belong to both of us. He's mine, and I'll burn the world down to keep him just like he would do for me. But our secrets are dangerous. Our demons are circling, and if we're not careful, they'll tear us apart from the inside. We've been through hell together, but this is different. This time, it's not about surviving-it's about whether we can trust each other enough to fight for what we have. He's the love of my life, the man I'm addicted to, but in the end, will our love be enough to save us from ourselves?

Have you ever sunk so low that you actually felt relieved, knowing that it couldn't possibly get any worse? Well, I have... Many times. I lost everything. My family, my future, my home... I swore I would never depend on anyone ever again. And he swore nothing will ever tie him down. He told me he has ghosts. I told him I have fears. We agreed. We were eachother's impending death. And yet I fell for him, slowly and deeply, until I didn't know how to be without him. And he fed on me, gently and steadily, until he didn't know how to let me go. They said he'll never stay. Yet, here he is. I said my heart will never break. Yet, here I am. My name is Alison Lewis, and all I want is to start over. #thewattys2021 Shortlist and #FEATURED on Wattpad Chicklit, New Adult, Romance and Psychological Novel #official reading lists.Lengkap

A year. A whole year since she last saw him. The memory of their last conversation, sharp and stinging, still resonated in her mind. They had been raw, exhausted, and ultimately, convinced they were hurting each other more than helping. The hunt for Hannah had dominated their lives, a relentless pursuit fueled by adrenaline and a desperate hope that had eventually fractured under the weight of reality. Then, there he was. Jake. His eyes, the same captivating brown that used to hold her captive, were now settling on her. A flicker of surprise, then... something else. Something that mirrored the ache in her own heart. The idea of a second chance, of rebuilding something with Jake, was terrifying and exhilarating all at once. But looking into his eyes, Madisyn saw a sincerity, a depth of understanding that she hadn't seen a year ago. They had both grown, both learned. Maybe, just maybe, they could make it work. Their love story wasn't conventional. It wasn't built on casual coffee dates and lighthearted laughter. It was forged in the crucible of loss and desperation, strengthened by shared trauma and a deep, unwavering connection. However, the challenges were far from over. She knew their love wouldn't be easy. It would be a constant battle, a continuous effort to understand and support each other through the inevitable storms. But as she watched Jake, a warmth spread through her chest. He was her hacker, her partner, her love. They had found each other in the darkness, and together, they would keep fighting for the light. But... was love enough? Love hadn't shielded them from the pain before! What if the ghosts of the past were too strong? What if the weight of their shared trauma ultimately crushed them again? What if, in trying to find the light, they only stumbled further into the darkness? Maybe loving him was the only thing that would break her again. What if...Lengkap
