The Fractured

Dean Moretto can't remember a time when his life was ever easy, and now it seems his past has caught up with him. Between his life of illegal fighting, being forced into cooperating with an investigation, and wanting the comfort of his renewed relationship with Lily, he is ripped in too many directions and desperate to keep his life together before the inevitable happens - losing everything he loves.

Haunted by the memories of her accident, Lily is finding ways to cope with the trauma while being there for her friends as a recovering people pleaser. But it slowly begins to take its toll, and no matter how many times she tells herself it'll be okay, there is a darkness telling her otherwise as she watches everyone move on.

Kira is learning how to trust her heart again. She knows she falls too quickly into love, but it's a habit that is hard to shake, especially when the right person comes along. Meanwhile, Seb, the man who can never shut up, finds himself struggling to speak to the girl he's falling for. He wants to be a good friend, but he can't seem to find where that line of friendship ends and where the one for something more begins.

The Fractured picks up right where The Wallflower left off, throwing everyone back into the world of underground fighting and mob bosses. Except now the stakes are higher, the romance is steamier, and not everyone will make it out unscathed.
