Broken People is a flawed romance with an emphasis on navigating life, love, and relationships while recovering from trauma.

This book is Mary Sue-free and promises no creepy virginity tropes.

The majority of the story takes place on crisp, Seattle fall nights and would go perfectly with a chunky blanket and a cup of coffee.

Maybe don’t read it in public. Unless you want to. 18+ content.

18+ content warning explained:

How much sexual content? More than enough to get me banned from the PTO, but not so much that I'd shelf it as erotica.

Trauma/Abuse. This book does not contain physically abusive romantic relationships, but does describe childhood trauma, abuse, and mentions past self-harm.

Profanity. Probably more than its fair share, if I'm being honest.

Blurb:

“On my very best days, I’m hanging from a very delicate thread, walking an even more delicate line over a river of broken things that I’ve barely managed not to let consume me. I do this by existing behind a veil of biased facts I tell myself about what happens when you expect better from people and what they can do to you when you let them in. Despite all of this, somehow, he had made it in…”

Ruby Vaughn lives her life by a certain set of rules. One of these rules clearly states that things like love and greatness—anything beyond basic contentment, really—was meant for other people, but not for her. A freelance writer by day and a bartender by night, Ruby spends what spare time she has watching her best friend, Evie, live a dream that’s always going to be just out of reach for her and the man she’s in love with, Alex, fall in love with someone else.

She’d resigned her fate to living a little smaller—a little safer—to keep her darkness to herself, but then she meets Jake, and nothing will ever be the same.

Raw with emotion and beautifully flawed, Ruby, as the antihero of her own story, is bound to captivate and resonate with readers who know what it’s like to lose and feel lost, and to find themselves again in the most unexpected of places.

Happy release day to me!

Broken Reverie is live today! Pick up Evie's messy story and fall in love with her anyway.

In honor of the release of the second book, Broken People will be free today (1/10) and tomorrow (1/11) on Amazon.



Please check trigger warnings for both books.
