Shattered Fate by VM Rheault

Family. Loyalty. Trust.

Gage

Ashton Black shot and killed my half-brother Max, and in his will, he left me everything he owned, plus one serious request—protect Zarah Maddox.

I don’t want to follow my brother’s last wishes.

All that changes when I rescue her from a group of hungry paparazzi and I look into her eyes.

Her confusion and vulnerability crack my heart wide open, and all I want is to keep her safe.

Locking her up in Quiet Meadows, Black tried to kill Zarah just as he succeeded killing my brother. And Max is right.

Black’s not done with her yet.

Zarah

My life is a fog of medication and splintered memories filled with violence and hate, and with therapy and the love of my family, I try desperately to live a normal life.

When I meet Gage, I think I might have a chance at happiness.

But there are secrets that won’t leave me alone, shadows the drugs don’t keep hidden.

As Gage and I start investigating my past so we can build a future, we find more than what we bargain for, and it may be too much for him to fight against, no matter how much he says he loves me.

Author’s Note: This series is better described as a serial, and you must start with book one. Also, books one, two, four, and five end in cliffhangers, and if you dislike those, please be warned because I hate saying, “I told you so.” 🙂 These books are full of delicate material, and a complete list is available on the author’s website for your convenience. Thank you.
