Beautifully Broken (Special Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955134217)

From USA Today bestselling author, Laura Lee, comes an emotionally raw and gritty forbidden romance filled with second chances.

I KNEW HE WOULD RUIN ME FROM THE MOMENT WE MET.

Everything about the man screamed confidence. Sensuality. Intelligence. Worldliness. But it was how he saved me that ruined me most.

Through him, I learned to end my path of self-destruction. I no longer needed to numb the pain with mindless one-night-stands and drunken blackouts. He made me feel worthy. Treasured. Optimistic about my future.

Here I stand four years later, in a coffee shop a world away, still broken...but beautifully so. My scars no longer hold me back. Instead, they give me strength and enrich my appreciation for the good things in life. I have hopes and dreams...faith that anything is possible. I am no longer the lost little girl fighting for survival. I have direction. I have courage. I am not without possibility.

I'll always have Gavin to thank for that--Mr. Cooper, I remind myself. That's who he is to me now: just a former teacher. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. I was eighteen when we first met. Legally, we did nothing wrong. Morally? Well, I guess that depends on how flexible your morals are.

My name is Kat and this is my story.

*Beautifully Broken is a standalone forbidden/second chance romance. It contains scenes that may be triggering for sensitive readers.
