Broken Souls

When I thought my life couldn't get any lower, I found myself working at Tease.The strip club was known for its prestigious clientele and well looked after girls.I presumed I had what it took. I was desperate, alone, and I didn't see any other way to make a living.So I faked the smile, ignored the rude comments, and worked.My first night in the private booths, everything fell apart. I fell apart.And then entered Cole Connor-my saviour.He had me at: 'Are you okay?'We shared an unforgettable night together. At least, it was for me.Then he left, and I never saw him again.But I never forgot him. Not his sweet touch, not his kisses, or how he made me feel.I also couldn't because he left me with a precious gift-one I didn't know I needed.A gift that became my biggest secret because I didn't want people to know my boss got me pregnant.Years later, he's back. When he sees me with Poppy on the day my life turns upside down, I know my secret is out.He isn't the man I remember him to be. He is domineering, angry, and his words slice through me like a knife.But beneath all that rage and hurt, he's just another broken soul like me.He has his own demons. His own secrets.And everything is about to be unveiled.Everyone has a story, and this is ours.
