Broken Like Me: Original Cover

Five years is a long time to convince yourself you're over someone—until she walks back into your life and straight into the center of your federal investigation.

FBI Agent Cole has spent half a decade burying the memory of the one night that changed everything. The night he let himself want Lila Kent—his sister's best friend, the girl he watched grow into a woman who made him forget every rule he'd ever followed. The night she walked away and took something from him he never got back.

Now Lila is back, and she's anything but the sweet, familiar face from his past. She's a lead in a case that could make or break his career, wrapped in a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. Cole knows that smile. He knows what hides behind it.

What he doesn't know is whether Lila is running from danger or running it.

In this slow-burn romantic suspense, the line between duty and desire blurs with every stolen glance, every guarded conversation, every charged moment where Cole can't decide if he wants to expose her secrets or shield her from whoever is watching from the shadows. Lila Kent has always been the one complication he couldn't solve, and now she's the one puzzle he can't afford to get wrong.

Because falling for a suspect is career suicide.

But walking away from Lila Kent? He already knows that's the kind of thing that breaks a man permanently.
