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. BROKEN MISERY is Book 4 of the Broken Redemption Series.

It’s why I tried to fight the attraction. As an impoverished girl from the fringes of our small town, I knew our relationship was doomed from the start. But with his charming smiles, longing glances, and relentless pursuit, Shane Montgomery shattered my defenses. As our love grew, so did his family’s disapproval.

For the sake of our future, I urged him to follow the path they’d laid out for him, with the promise I’d wait, no matter how long it took. While he pursued their dreams, I navigated alone. Yet, despite the distance, our hearts remained tethered, clinging to the hopeful future we were certain was ours. But when tragedy strikes, tearing our world to pieces, we’re left teetering on the edge, uncertain how our love will withstand our newfound reality. He swore he would protect me. If only we’d known the lengths they would go to break us apart.

Reads
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation… it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I’d ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I’ll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that’s what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.

BROKEN VOWS (Broken Redemption Book 1)
Reads
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.

Reads
I was so damn naive it’s no wonder I’ve ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I’d begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It’s a sad truth I didn’t marry my husband for love.

Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I’ve walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life’s harshest lesson… I’m not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband’s enemies, I’m forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1)
Reads
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…
