Description

The first book in the Beautifully Broken series.

Twenty-four-year-old Pax Tate is not always a nice guy. He's a tattooed, rock-hard bad boy with a bad attitude to match. But he's got his reasons. His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt. As Pax grew up, he tried to be the perfect golden boy but his dad couldn't overcome his grief long enough to notice. Pax couldn't keep up the impossible perfect fa ade, so he slipped far, far from it. Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugly, black void in his heart. Until he meets sweet, beautiful Mila Hill. Mila is a carefree smile to his hardened frown, the beauty to his beast.

When memories of his mother's death resurface, Mila is there to help him mend his broken heart . . . but only if he can stop being a jerk long enough to allow it. Pax says he's working on it. But is that enough to make her stay

If you haven't read this book, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR It's raw and passionate and Pax is amazingly flawed yet intensely lovable. It really is an incredible story - M. Leighton, author of Down to You

Author Bio

Courtney Cole was born and raised in rural Kansas but moved to Indiana over a decade ago and now resides in Mishawaka, near Lake Michigan. Her favourite place in the world is on the shore with her toes in the water. Although, since she is deathly afraid of sea gulls and things that float in the water, it makes days at the beach interesting.

She is married with three children. She worked for a decade in corporate America, in an international marketing department for a military vehicle company. Courtney is always working on her next novel. If she isn't, then she is staring dreamily out her office window.
