She was my world, and then she was gone. Chloe was my high school sweetheart, and we were destined to be together forever. At least that's what I thought. We married. She got pregnant. My company began to take off. Everything was shaping up to be the perfect life. Then she was taken from me on a stormy day, leaving me with our infant daughter and so much grief it was killing me. I spent years drowning my sorrows in a bottle of whiskey, focusing on my company. Nothing else mattered to me anymore. Until she came back into my life. Sasha. Chloe’s little sister. She wasn’t so little anymore, though. No longer was she the awkward teen I remembered. She was a full-grown woman, and she was the new nanny I had to hire because everyone else refused to work for me. I didn’t expect to feel the way I did. I tried to fight it. But things happened that I couldn’t take back. Things that made me a monster. Things that broke us both even more. Sometimes redemption is found in the pain and grief. And sometimes, it’s found where we least expect it. For us? We found it in the broken pieces. The Pretty Broken is an M/F full-length standalone romance. It is part of the Chaos Universe, but can be read at any time as it doesn’t interfere with the main story.
