Broken

She had copies of three files she was never supposed to see. She had been running for eighteen months. She thought she was safe.

She was not safe. She was allowed.

Sophie Vance walked out of the Blackstone financial offices on a Thursday afternoon with a drive in her jacket pocket and a plan she had spent six weeks building. She changed her name. She changed her city. She timed the metro, varied her routes, kept a bag under the floorboard, and paid for everything in cash. She built a small, careful, anonymous life in a city three hundred kilometres from the one she had left.

She was good at it.

Adrian Blackstone found her in four days. He waited fourteen months to come for her.

He leans against her door frame on a Tuesday evening in November — dark hair, warm brown eyes that give away absolutely nothing true — and says her name the way you said someone's name when you'd run into them at a party. Like nothing between them was serious. Like eighteen months had not happened.

He is not here to punish her. He is not here to take the files. He is here because the thing she ran from is not what she thought it was — and because the thing she ran from was never entirely about the files.

Sophie Vance is a woman who operates in data. She maps every room she enters. She models every variable. She asks why instead of what, and she is the best financial forensics mind Adrian has encountered in his life.

She is also the one person he cannot calculate around.

And she has been the one person he has been taking care of — from a distance, invisibly, without her knowledge — for fourteen months. Because he could not bear to stop.

BROKEN is a full-length dark romance novel featuring a morally grey charmer, a fierce and methodical heroine, high-stakes financial suspense, and a love story built from honesty, not arrangement. Intended for readers 18+.
