About the book:
Lauren Layne’s
heart-wrenching novel tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars,
and a love that could save them both . . . or destroy them.
When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue
for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind
do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war
veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s
client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding
twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption
. . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.
Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no
longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside
and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his
father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or
lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful
twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the
more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.
Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each
other heal? Or are they forever broken?
** Teaser Reveal!**
Olivia squirms. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've never known a female to acquiesce that easily without a
catch. How about you hit me with it now and get it over with?”
Olivia shrugs. "Fine. I was going to say that I won't run alone,
if you promise to go with me."
"No," I say, almost before she's finished her sentence.
"Why not?"
I rap my cane once against the ground. "Well, for starters,
despite the fact that there are tortoises that could surpass your sorry excuse
for a jog, I'm in no shape to accompany even the most pathetic of
runners."
"What a handy skill you have of overloading a sentence with
insults," she says as she reaches up to adjust her ponytail. "That
must be helpful what with your thriving social life and all."
I thump my cane against the ground again, studying her. "Must be
nice, picking on the cripple."
Olivia rolls her eyes. "Please. Your soul's more crippled than
your leg."
She has no idea how right she is, and I have no
intention of letting her anywhere close enough to find out. I've gotten good at
shutting people out by pushing them away . . . being as nasty as possible until
they reach their breaking point. But with her? It's different.
We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of BROKEN by Lauren

About the Author:
Lauren Layne is a snarky smartass with a serious weakness for happily ever afters.
Marrying her high school sweetheart was a good start. *cue Disney soundtrack.*
But Lauren wanted all romance, all the time.
Now she writes fictional happy endings, and considers her job done well if you swoon while reading her books.
Don't worry. You will.
Once upon a time she lived in a Manhattan high-rise, but now she's on the laid-back train in the Seattle area. If you ever find yourself in Issaquah, she'll probably buy you a drink. Maybe.
