Broken Hero by Izzy Williams

She’s a persisting optimist, even in the face of despair…
He’s a lost soul, damaged and scarred, with the belief that he can never love again…
Will she be enough to breathe the life back into him?
Sophie’s life is already hectic enough, what with her father’s gambling problem spiraling dangerously out of control. She has to do her best to keep them afloat, and do so alone.
But when she meets Declan, she thinks that she’s found her knight in shining armor. Except her knight is far more broken than she thought.
Still reeling from the tragic death of his fiancé, Declan knows that he’s incapable of opening his heart to anyone. After all, he’s faced with an immense guilt that pulls him down, the guilt of knowing that he couldn’t save the woman he loved. So when he meets Sophie, a bright and cunning young woman, he makes it clear that things between them are strictly platonic.
But that doesn’t stop Sophie from being attracted to him. And it doesn’t stop Declan from suddenly feeling things he thought were long gone. But will that be enough for him to move forward from his past? Or will his cold heart stay frozen?
