Fractured by L.C. Valliére

Ezekiel spent the last few years picking up the pieces of his shattered life. He learned that staying in control was the only way he could keep his family safe. Just when he thought everything was getting back to normal, a choice he made years ago comes back to haunt him. Now, not only is his life in danger, but also the woman that might be the one. Cola learned at a young age the only person she could count on was herself. Much of her childhood was dark and full of uncertainty.

Building walls around her heart, she learned how to get through difficult situations on her own, refusing to depend on others. When Cola and Ezekiel collide sparks fly, but as strong as the attraction is between them, neither wants to give up the independence they depend on. With their lives interlaced, the two learn quickly that fighting their desire might be harder than they thought. If they can put their pasts behind them and focus on a future, they might find a way to conquer fears and find the happiness they both longed for.
