YA&NA: Saga Beautifully Broken

24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole.

Seriously.

He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match.

But he’s got his reasons.

His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count.

As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade.

So he slipped far, far from it.

Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right?

Wrong.

And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila.

Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe.

When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness.

But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it.

He knows that. And he’s working on it.

But is that enough to make her stay?

Pax Tate de 24 años es un imbécil.

En serio.

Está tatuado, chico de rock duro con mala actitud para acompañar.

Pero él tiene sus razones.

Su madre murió cuando tenía siete años, dejando un agujero en su corazón lleno de culpas a pesar de que no entiende por qué. Lo que sí sabe es que su padre y él se quedan solos y con más problemas de los que pueden contar.

A medida que Pax crecía, trató de ser el chico que su padre siempre quiso; el chico de "oro" perfecto, pero no funcionó. Su padre no pudo superar su dolor lo suficiente como para notarlo y Pax no podía seguir la imposible fachada perfecta .

Así que se alejó, mucho más lejos de todo ello.

Ahora, usa drogas y mujeres para hacer frente a la fealdad, el negro vacío que no quiere tratar. Si se pretende que el vacío no existe, entonces no está, ¿verdad?

Error.

Y nunca es más evidente que cuando se encuentra con Mila.

La dulce y exuberante Mila Hill es el aire fresco a su ceño endurecido, la belleza de su horrible corazón . Él no sabe cómo no hacerle daño, pero rápidamente se da cuenta de que será mejor resolverlo porque la necesita para respirar.

Cuando los recuerdos de la muerte de su madre resurgen, de donde los ha reprimido durante tanto tiempo, Mila está ahí para atraparlo cuando la culpa empieza a tener sentido. Mila es la única... la único que puede salvarlo de su atribulado corazón roto, de sus problemas, del vacío.

Pero solo si el puede parar dejar de ser un idiota lo suficiente como para permitirlo.
Lo sabe. Y está trabajando en ello.

¿Pero sera eso suficiente para hacerla quedarse?

26-year old Gabriel Vincent is a badass hero. Or he used to be, anyway. As an ex-Army Ranger, Gabe never thought he needed anyone. But after one horrible night in Afghanistan scars him in a way that he can't get past, he needs someone who can help him heal...even if he doesn't realize it.

25-year old Madison Hill doesn't need anybody...or so she thinks. She grew up watching her parents' messed-up abusive relationship and she knows there's no way in hell that she's ever letting that happen to her.

They don't know it in the beginning, but Gabriel and Madison will soon develop a weakness: Each other.

But Gabriel's got a secret, a hidden monster that he's afraid Maddy could never overcome... And Maddy's got issues that she's afraid Gabe will never understand. They quickly realize that they need each other to be whole, but at the same time they know that they've got demons to fight.

And the problem with demons is that they never die quietly.
