THE STORY

About They Broke Me, Then Begged Me Back

At ten, Erin Winters enters the powerful Moretti family and becomes the target of her cruel stepbrother, Damian. Years later, she believes Adrian Holt is her salvation—until she discovers their romance was part of Damian’s revenge. Humiliated, betrayed, and pushed to the brink, Erin leaves everything behind to join a classified AI security project overseas. Three years later, she returns successful, independent, and finally free from the people who broke her. But Damian and Adrian, consumed by guilt and regret, are desperate for another chance. Erin has only one answer: some wounds can heal, but forgiveness is not guaranteed
