About this book
Hailey Scarlett Vaughn is sent to an elite boarding college under the guise of recovery, but she soon realizes that Lakeside is no sanctuary. Plagued by two years of lost memories, she arrives to find that the truth is far more dangerous than her amnesia. As her past begins to resurface, she discovers she is trapped in a web of secrets, with a target on her back and no idea who to trust. Enter Carter, a man driven by vengeance who views Hailey as nothing more than a pawn in his father’s game. He believes she holds the key to his family's salvation, and he is determined to break her to get it. What begins as a mission of manipulation quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Despite his crude and threatening demeanor, the undeniable tension between them grows, blurring the lines between enemies and lovers. Caught in a high-stakes game of revenge, both Hailey and Carter find their loyalties tested as their lives become inextricably linked. As the lies tighten around them, they must navigate a dark, suspenseful world where trust is a liability and the truth could destroy them both. This intense dark mafia romance delivers a gripping, fast-paced narrative that ends on a heart-stopping cliffhanger.

See all formats and editions HAILEY One evening, two years’ worth of memories lost. Under the pretense of recovery, my father sends me to an elite boarding college, but soon, my memories start rushing back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal. I’m here to hide. Navigating the scattered past to decipher the threat lurking in the shadows is hard while I’m kept in the dark and even harder when he steals my focus. Crude, arrogant, and threatening, he draws me in, and the closer I get, the less I understand. Waking up without memories is terrifying, but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse. CARTER Guilty by association—Hailey Scarlett Vaughn deserves pain. The moment I see her, I want to wrap my fingers around her neck and squeeze… No matter how big the temptation, I need to extract a key hidden in the depths of her mind first. A key to my father’s freedom. Hailey’s a pawn in a complex game of revenge. A tool in my hands, but as she starts to remember, I realize we’re both tangled in an intricate web of lies that tightens every day. The harder I push to break her, the faster she breaks me. Breaking Hailey is set in the same universe as Broken Rules and Broken Promises. You don't have to listen to the Broken Duet before diving into Breaking Hailey. However, some characters from the Broken Duet will make an appearance in this book. ) ©2024 I. A. Dice (P)2024 Dreamscape Media Previous slide of product details 1.
