Broken by Stoni Alexander

Hearts Like Mine Don’t Love… They Destroy
I keep a tight lid on my emotions, so when my dream job got ripped away from me, I vowed I wouldn’t look back. But the deaths of those innocent souls haunt me, every single day.
I’m broken.
Broken over a mission gone horribly wrong. Broken when the truth got buried under a mountain of lies.
Now, I’m angry… scorched-earth angry.
Offered a chance to unleash my rage, I accept the job without hesitation.
Lone-wolf assassin.
But no matter how many monsters I take out, I can’t escape the damning memories.
Then, I’m forced to partner with the person who took me down.
Turns out, that mission broke her too.
Too bad she can’t stand me. I used to make her purr like a kitten.
Being around her breathes life into my tormented soul. She’s fiery and strong-willed, brilliant and beautiful. And she hates me almost as much as I hate myself. At least, that’s what she wants me to believe. I see the way she looks at me, how my touch turns her inside out.
When the unthinkable happens, I step up and do the right thing.
That means, no more flying solo.
It’s time to confront my past, man up in the present, and ensure she’s the most important part of my future.
Without her… I’m just another broken man.
