BLURB:

Natalie has spent most of her life learning how to survive. After growing up in the shadow of her father’s violence, she knows what it means to carry fear in her body long after the danger has passed: trust does not come easily, love feels risky, and peace, when it comes, feels too fragile to believe in for long.

Cameron knows what it means to be haunted, too. After a drunk driver took the life of the girl he loved, grief became the only language he trusted. Burdened by survivor’s guilt, anger, and questions he's not sure God will answer, Cameron has built his life around distance. It is easier that way. Safer, too.

But when Natalie and Cameron’s lives begin to intertwine, neither of them expects to be understood so quietly, or seen so completely. What begins as a guarded psychology assignment slowly becomes something tender, steady, and impossible to ignore. Still, healing is not a straight road, and love cannot mend what they are unwilling to face.

As Natalie learns that softness is not weakness, and Cameron begins to confront the grief that has kept him locked away from hope, they must decide whether the broken places in their lives are proof that love is too dangerous—or the very places where love can finally take root.

Beauty in the Breaking is an emotionally rich, hope-filled romance about trauma, faith, forgiveness, and the kind of love that doesn't rush the healing, but stays long enough to witness it.

Releasing Fall 2026.
