Damaged

Damaged #1

by J.L. Benson

Emma Hatfield had everything she could ever want. She grew up privileged on Manhattan's Upper East Side. But most of her formative teenage years were spent watching her father die slowly and painfully from cancer. And it has left scars that she feels will never heal. When her mother's drinking gets even more out of control, Emma gets on the first train out of New York. Unexpectedly, she finds herself at her paternal grandmother's house, exhausted and broke with nothing but the clothes on her back.

Taylor Green is smart, popular and undeniably handsome. But when he takes a special interest in Emma, he interrupts her self-imposed exile. Can he be the only one to save her from herself?
