Breaking Point (Book 1)

Danny Gonzalez is a father grappling with the grief of losing his wife while trying to care for his three children-Max, Sophia, and Emily. Though surrounded by love, including from his partner, Drew Gooden, and their close friend Kurtis Conner, Danny struggles to see his own worth. His battle with guilt and despair threatens to unravel the fragile stability they've built as a family.

As Drew steps deeper into Danny's world, what begins as a partnership of support slowly blossoms into something deeper. Through moments of tenderness, shared vulnerability, and unwavering care, Drew and Danny realize their connection is far more than either of them expected. But with Danny's mental health spiraling and the burden of his past weighing him down, love alone might not be enough to bring him back to the surface.

With Kurtis providing lighthearted humor and steadfast support, and the kids longing for the father they once knew, the group comes together to navigate the raw, messy beauty of healing and love. Together, they'll face heartbreak, resilience, and the hope that even in their darkest moments, they're stronger together.

"Shattered but Not Broken" is a story of grief, love, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild. It's about finding joy in the smallest moments, rediscovering love when it seems impossible, and leaning on family-whether by blood or by choice-when it's needed the most.
