CONTROLLED BURN 🔥

She fixes scandals for the rich and famous.
She can't fix what happened to her.

Valentina (Salvatore) DeLuca is London's go-to crisis manager-ice in her veins, stilettos on her feet, and a mind built for emergencies. She keeps other people's secrets for a living because it's easier than facing her own.

Then Dante Vance walks into her orbit-an actor with too much charm and a gaze that feels like it sees past her armor. Their banter turns into tension. The tension turns into trust. And trust becomes the one thing Val never planned for.

He's not perfect. He's not safe because he's "nice."
He's safe because he listens. Because he stops. Because he never tries to own her.

But when a call from Toronto threatens to drag Val back into the life she escaped, she has to decide what terrifies her more:

Being found...

Or being loved.

She can manage any fire... except the one he starts in her. 🔥

BROKEN MISERY (James & Annelly Book 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

"Not all monsters hide in the dark. Some smile when they break you." Annelly I'm in trouble-the kind of trouble that has me fleeing from my life in the middle of the night, leaving everything behind. Ruby Creek, the small town where I grew up, seemed like my safest refuge-until I ran straight into him. James Serrano, the man who shattered my heart, sees through my fear and insists on helping me. He promises to protect me, to be the man I once believed he could be. But trusting him again feels impossible when all I can remember is the pain of his indifference and how easily he erased me from his life. James I like my life simple and carefree-no attachments, no drama, no regrets. But when Annelly Conners reappears, scared, heartbreakingly vulnerable, yet so fiercely captivating, she unravels everything I thought I wanted. If I were smart, I'd walk away like I did before. Instead, I'm breaking every rule I've lived by to protect her-even if it means facing the feelings I swore I'd long buried. She's everything I don't want but seem to need. And now I'm making promises I'm not sure I can keep-because losing her again? That's a risk I refuse to take. In the Broken Redemption World, one woman's fight to reclaim her life collides with a man's war between love and self-preservation-but the danger closing in could destroy them both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James & Annelly's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, that journey begins with Lucas & Emilia, whose story starts in Broken Vows (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).

When the old, electric pull between them is stronger than ever. Between jealous friends, a toxic ex, and the suffocating weight of the secrets he's still keeping, Emma finds herself pulled towards him all over again.
