Broken Vows

Twenty-year-old Aurora Thorne never belonged in the glittering world of the Davenports. Raised in a warm middle-class home, she was thrust into Britain's ruthless aristocracy when her father was recruited into the powerful Davenport empire. Overnight, Aurora found herself living beside Windsor's most feared dynasty: a family draped in old money, political influence, and devastating secrets.

And at the center of it all was Killian Davenport.

Killian has loved Aurora since childhood. But love in the Davenport family is fatal. After losing his mother, Killian learned that everything he touches is eventually destroyed.

Then Tristan dies.

Now, years later, Aurora and Killian attend King's Lancaster University, an isolated gothic institution perched against the Scottish coast where secret societies thrive, reputations are ruined for sport, and darkness hides beneath every stone archway.

Aurora arrives grieving the recent death of her father, emotionally exposed and utterly alone.

Killian greets her with hatred.

At least, that's what everyone believes.

Behind every vicious humiliation lies a desperate attempt to push her away before he destroys her completely. Yet Aurora sees through the monster he pretends to be. Beneath the savage arrogance and vicious games is the broken boy who once held her beneath an ancient oak tree and made impossible promises.

He vowed he would never make her cry.

He vowed she would never face the darkness alone.

He vowed he would never lie.

And most of all-

He vowed he would never break her.

A dark academia romance drenched in grief, obsession, vicious emotional tension, and devastating spice, this story is about two broken souls trying to survive a love that was doomed from the very beginning.
