Broken


Tia Sirrah - 2019
    Love is messy. Love is complicated. Love is desperate. My two rules were simple enough: Protect your heart and your sanity at all costs. Never be the one to say “I love you” first. Privileged. Ruthless. Apathetic. Billionaire heir. Business mogul. Womanizer. Sex on a stick. Conner Brathwaite turned my rules to ashes. The lessons I learned in my twenty-four years were practical. Peace is far more valuable than passion. Seduction is from the devil. And seduction and deception usually go hand in hand. Conner’s haunting green eyes hide so many secrets. Secrets that will probably ruin me…ruin us. The easy thing to do would be to walk away. And if everyone is right about the formidable Conner Brathwaite, this won’t end well. But I’m in too deep. We’re in too deep. Freefall. Heart first. Consequences be damned. This is a BWWM adult contemporary romance novel.
