BROKEN
Blessed Series. Book One

A wife. A betrayal. A family under fire—and the fight to rebuild when everything you trusted goes up in flames.

Amanda thought she had built something unbreakable—marriage, family, and a future she could finally trust.

Then betrayal cracked the foundation.

What begins as private heartbreak collides with public cruelty, pulling Amanda into a fight she never asked for—one that tests her love, her identity, and the life she worked so hard to create. As everything she believes burns down around her, Amanda must decide what truth will cost… and whether healing is possible when the damage is visible to everyone.

Broken is a gripping, emotional novel about love after betrayal, family under fire, and the courage it takes to rebuild when your world is shattered. 

This is Book 1 in the Blessed Series. Continue the journey in Book 2, Made (forthcoming).
