Beautiful After Broken
After discovering that the man she's loved since she was fourteen fathered a child with the woman he cheated with, Ava's world crumbles. With two children to protect and nothing but heartbreak in her rearview mirror, she walks away from the only life she's ever known.
But starting over isn't simple.
As Ava battles betrayal, motherhood, and the quiet war inside her heart, an unexpected encounter with an old friend from the past opens a door she never imagined. Mateo always saw her-even when she didn't see herself. Now, as the pieces of her life scatter, Ava must decide if she's willing to rebuild... and if love can truly grow in the ruins.
Beautiful After Broken is a soul-stirring story of love lost, strength found, and what it really means to choose yourself.
