[The Damaged One 01] • The Damaged One

Augustus Pierce had always been responsible for his younger siblings. Born to a drug-addicted prostitute, Augustus and his siblings never had a chance. He gave them a chance. He got them out. He gave them a life. But was it all for nothing?

Jackie, Augustus’ youngest sister, was the most innocent. The damaged one. She fell into the same drug abyss that swallowed their mother whole. When Augustus gets that call, the one he had secretly known would come, but the one he prayed he would never get, he has to learn the truth. He has to find the person to blame.

Toby Voss was a student psychotherapist. More importantly, she was the last person to see Jackie alive. Augustus believes she is the one who has the answers he needed. It doesn’t help that she happens to be the most beautiful woman he has ever met. Or that her touch awakens something in his soul that died long ago.

Augustus is determined to fulfill one last promise to Jackie. He just has to find a way to ignore the primal need to bury himself in the one woman who can fulfill his every dream or shatter his very existence.
