The Beast Who Broke Me

Clemenza Family Book 2

He swore he’d make me pay. But I’ve found his weakness. And I’ll never let him break me.

The first time he chained me, it wasn’t my choice. This time, it is.

Because I have a collar for him too. 

A choke-chain to keep him in line.  

And I have a plan to take my throne back…even if I have to crawl to him to do it. 

Every night he takes me into his bed. And every night I let him punish me for leaving him.

I came back to win. I’m staying because I can’t leave.

He’s still the only thing standing between me and whoever wants me dead.

Losing him would end me.

Letting him break me might be worse.

Book 2 of an ongoing-couple trilogy. Expect dark dealings, obsession, possessiveness, toxic dynamics, and all the red flags. These antiheroes will earn their happily ever after, but they’ll have to fight hard to get there.
