Love Me Like I'm Broken

He kissed me once and disappeared. Now he wants to protect me—but who will protect me from him? After losing her mother to cancer, Janica is barely holding it together. With no family left, a low-paying job, and mounting bills, she’s numb to the world. Love? It’s a distant memory, something for those who still believe in miracles. Jason was once her unexpected anchor. Dark, powerful, and dangerously charming, he entered her life when she needed someone the most. A billionaire with a haunted past, his eyes saw right through her pain. He kissed her, promised to stay, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving her alone with nothing but memories—and a broken heart. Now, he’s back—and this time, he’s not asking for permission. Jason’s return isn’t just about making up for the time he was gone; he’s determined to protect Janica, though his world is full of secrets, scars, and enemies. The closer she gets, the more Janica realizes that loving him might either break her completely—or finally heal her. But in his attempt to redeem himself and prove he’s not the man he was before, Jason’s past continues to haunt them both. As Jason’s enemies close in, Janica must decide if she can trust him again—or if their love will pull her deeper into the danger he’s been hiding all along. He’s haunted by his past. She’s hurting from her loss. But despite everything, they still know how to love.
