behind the broken
-behind darkness book one-

 

A darkly heart-wrenching, swoon-worthy contemporary romance debut from Chloe C. Peñaranda. Book one of the Behind Darkness duet will leave you on the edge of your seat for the sequel to Rhett and Ana's tension filled, emotional story.

​

No one expects an angel to buy a ticket to hell. 

 

I would have lived my life the righteous way, but my path of vengeance forced me to become the monster my uncle wanted to create. When I lie my way into playing bodyguard for the senator’s daughter, I don’t expect our fires to cross or to become addicted to the blaze. Anastasia Kinsley burns the ice that froze my heart years ago, but I need to find the will to resist. Chained up in the devil’s playground, I won’t let myself lose again. 

 

When the devil came I couldn’t resist. 

 

As the daughter of a hopeful new president, my life often doesn’t feel like my own. When my father assigns me a bodyguard during the run-up to the election, I’m determined to make sure they both see exactly why I don’t need their protection. But Rhett Kaiser is . . . unexpected. He ignites a match in me I didn’t know I held, and the closer we get, the more I’m drawn to use it to discover what lies behind his icy exterior.

​

You don’t get to be just another creature of the underworld.

 

I hoped to never be in the clutches of my sinister uncle again, but I will not let him break me. I wanted to spare Ana from my dark past, but as it seems, she’s a far more cunning player inside the wicked than I could have prepared for. 

 

Are you ready to work for what it takes to rule it?

 

My grief might have made me cold-hearted, but I’m determined to find out the truth behind Rhett’s disappearance, even if it means gaining the trust of the monster who took him from me. There are no rules in devil’s playground, and I’m willing to draw blood, even from myself, to win.
