WRECKED SOUL (1 OF 2 IN FRACTURED HEARTS)

Aurora Hawthorne is running from her past. After escaping an abusive home in Ireland, she finds herself in a small Florida town, living with a mother who's no better than the father she left behind. Haunted by her scars-both seen and unseen-Aurora struggles to navigate a world where her past threatens to drown her in darkness. But when she meets Vincent Sinclair, a boy with his own ghosts to bear, she finds an unexpected connection that ignites a spark of hope.

Vincent Sinclair, the golden boy with a heart of gold, is determined to protect his little sister and keep his own demons at bay. He carries the weight of loss, his parents' tragic fate etched into his soul, leaving him to navigate life with a sense of responsibility that feels suffocating. When he crosses paths with Aurora, their shared pain creates an undeniable bond, one that could either save them or pull them deeper into their pasts.

As Aurora grapples with her addiction and the nightmares that follow her, Vincent tries to be her anchor. But the more they lean on each other, the more they realize that healing isn't a straight path. Together, they must confront the scars that bind them, discovering that love can emerge from the wreckage-but at what cost?
