Less Broken by Eve R. Hart

Theon:
After I trusted the wrong person, I ended up in a giant mess and clueless how to get out of it alive. I should have been hesitant to let anyone get close to me after that.
Then along came this mystery man. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, even though I knew nothing about him. Not even his name.
He came crashing into my life entirely too fast and I couldn’t run from him. Honestly, I didn’t want to. He was beautiful when he forgot the darkness that consumed him inside. I felt safe and protected with him.
Until I found out who he really was.
In one single night, he made me come alive, and then broke my heart.
As fast as he came into my life, he was gone, and all I wanted was to be in his arms again.

Cade:
I was sent to watch over him from the shadows, not get close to him.
From the moment I stared into Theon’s eyes, I was caught. I knew I shouldn’t have approached him, but that was exactly what I did. I pushed myself into his life. I told myself it was to keep him safe, but deep down, I knew better.
Theon trusted me when he shouldn’t have. And I… I took that trust and ripped it to shreds.
If he knew my real connection to him and why I was there, I’d lose him. But I was too far in to turn the lie around.
Even knowing he’d never trust me again once he found out the truth.
