Maya Cole's life was like any other girl's life. She had a job, a family, friends & a house.
She lived in a cozy flat, with her best friends Cara and Andy. They were the craziest but also the best people she could have asked for in the friends chapter. They were caring, nice and weird all Maya loved. They always had their rough patches but in the end they were her own little family.
But there's always a problem in life.
When it all comes down to the love chapter, Maya is a piece of shit.
She never finds the right guy, she never finds that other half. They're all always cold and insensitive. She thinks there's no hope for her... but why would there be hope? Once everything comes crashing down after her sister's death she can't be herself. She's too sad and broken. Sure there's always friends to cheer you up and bring you back to life. But Maya thinks she may need one good guy. One that will love her. But she always goes back to that one problem. The heartbreak.
Because of that and death she doesn't know where her old self is. She's trapped inside a broken heart.
And needs help from a warm and caring one.

TRAGICALLY BROKEN: The Broken Series, Book 1
Her past brought us together, but it was mine that tore us apart. She was stunning-long, wavy hair and a smile that could bring a man to his knees. The moment my eyes locked onto hers, there was no one else. Not the party around me. Not the blonde on my lap whispering in my ear. Just her. I told myself it was nothing. My eyes wandered to beautiful women all the time. But there was just something about this one that drew me in. I needed to talk to her, needed to know her. That's why, when the girl on my lap tried to stake her claim, I was quick to shut her down. But I was too late. The brunette was already gone-vanished like a fire had been lit beneath her feet. A scream. That's how I found her. Crumpled beneath the trees. Battered. Broken. I held her until help arrived, but somewhere between finding her and letting her go, she'd already carved herself into parts of me I'd never get her out of. I couldn't forget her-couldn't let go of what had happened to her. And apparently neither could he. Because the man who assaulted her is back, and he's not letting her go without a fight. I just didn't expect I'd become the reason for everything that came next. ___________ PLEASE NOTE: This book contains dark themes and sensitive subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.
