After escaping a life she never chose, 18-year-old Darcelle Visha Brooks is determined to keep her past buried. Adopted at fourteen spending her whole life in a cult lead by her father, she's finally safe but far from healed. A wall of venom laced words protects her, and she's learned not to trust anyone who tries to break it down.
Then Finn Everest Hale shows up. With an easy smile and a warm, unwavering optimism, Finn is her polar opposite. But he isn't deterred by her sharp retorts or aloofness; instead, he seems to understand the shadows she carries. Finn has his own pain-a brother lost too soon-and he knows what it means to guard a fractured heart.
As the two grow closer, Finn patiently chips away at her walls, coaxing her to open up. Through small acts of kindness and unwavering support, he makes her feel safe enough to share the parts of herself she's always hidden. But letting go of old fears isn't easy, and as feelings deepen, she realizes that trusting him means letting him see her scars-and risking heartbreak all over again.
Breaking Through is a story of vulnerability, trust, and the courage it takes to open up to love. Will she find the strength to face her past and embrace a future where she's free to be truly herself?
