BROKEN VOWS (Broken Redemption Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I’d ever loved… including her.
It’s why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return.
I’m no longer the “golden boy with a bright future” they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he’d dedicated the past decade to serve.
What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parent’s property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons.
And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn’t refuse.
Now I can’t walk away.
Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It’s why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them.
It’s a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I’ve left in my wake.
Like the harbinger of death, I’m the last man either of us should trust.

However, being a new person in a small town draws the attention of one of the town’s “guardians”, Dolion.
Dolion, Ilys, and Absalom are siblings who protect their hometown, help its people, and work as independent sellswords. When Dolion sees Len, he can’t help but be attracted and suspicious of the younger man. He just hopes that no trouble will come with this new visitor. Especially after Ilys and their younger sister, Kara found a mysterious orb that showed them a terrifying vision of the world burning.
Kara’s convinced it’s their destiny to stop it. Ilys thinks someone else is meant to. Dolion and Absalom think the orb is something important that’s connected to their past and Len wonders why he feels the orb calling to him. Their pasts are connected in some way and what they uncover might spell doom for everyone around them…and the world.

Thrall of the Dark Wood
Young mother Ilse arrived in Forst village seven years ago with an infant in her arms and another little one on the way. Secretive about her previous life, most assumed Ilse to be an unwed harlot, driven from her home by her family’s shame. Ilse is especially tight-lipped about the most pressing question: who the father of her children is.
Ilse bore the burden of their rumors with ease, and for seven years lived in relative peace in a small house just outside of the Dark Wood – a forest that many believed was home to inhuman creatures. None but Ilse had ever dared to live that close, fearing that they would be lured into the Wood, never to return.
When Ilse and her children disappear, seemingly out of thin air, the village assumes the Dark Wood has claimed their lives. What they don’t know is that the father of Ilse’s children, who most assumed to be some nobody from Ilse’s home village, is actually much closer than they thought. He comes from the Dark Wood – and he wants his family back.
Linked By Ink
Riley:
When I was eighteen I made a huge mistake. Part of that error was a friendship tattoo that would link him and me together. That tattoo is a symbol of the worst wrong I made. Just simply looking at it is a reminder of what not to let ever happen again. I turned my pain into something positive. I went to college for art and created my own tattoo studio Linked By Ink. I'm now famous for friendship tattoos. I used my negative to build something positive from it. Now I have my own tv show. I travel across the world meeting people who want a friendship tattoo and hearing their stories. If I like their story and feel the relationship is positive I give them a tattoo.
Lucas:
When I was nineteen I made a huge mistake. The only part that wasn't a full failure was the time we spent together and the tattoo I got with her. The tattoo is a reminder of what I lost from my wrongs. My tattoo is a symbol of her and wanting to find her again. I want her back in my life. I've hired many private investigators and not one has found her. I turned the negative I did into something positive. I wrote all my songs about her. Every song was an award won, some Grammy's, and every award won was a new tattoo I got in honor of her. I traveled across the world meeting people whom my songs and story have inspired.
