THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel)
Choosing her cost me everything I’d ever loved… including her.
I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for.
It should have been enough.
She was off-limits, my parent’s best friend’s daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn’t exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn’t know how to fill.
It’s what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn’t have made.
Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn’t meant for me cost me everything I loved.
I never should have crossed that line or given in. It’s why she’ll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret.
This tragic story is the beginning of our end…
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.
