Broken Memories: Novel

A dark Southern Gothic historical fiction set in Louisiana between the 1910s and 1930s, where blood runs deeper than love and the past never stays buried.

In the shadowed swamps of the South, connection is dangerous. For Jenni Garcia, a Mexican Native American woman hardened by violence and grief, and Alastor Heartfelt, a charming Creole radio host with blood on his hands hidden beneath polished smiles and a velvet voice, it feels nearly impossible.

Haunted by trauma and stripped of any faith in mercy, Jenni survives with anger clenched tightly between her veins and a blade never far from reach. Alastor survives behind charm, radio static, and carefully sharpened teeth of his own. The world has taken pieces from both of them long before they ever met.

When their paths finally cross, what begins as an uneasy alliance between two dangerous strangers slowly twists into something far more volatile, a bond forged through violence, obsession, secrecy, and the terrifying comfort of being truly understood.

As racial hatred, buried trauma, family expectations, and the growing weight of their own brutality tighten around them, Jenni and Alastor find themselves drawn together despite every reason they should stay apart. But in a country determined to break people like them, love itself becomes an act of defiance. The closer they grow, the more dangerous they become.

The world wants them silenced. Their bloodlines marked them. But in the dark, they've found each other, and they'll burn everything to keep it.
