Hey friends,

Welcome to Ruby Creek. 🖤 If you’re new here, this is a perfect place to start.

Broken Misery is the beginning of James & Annelly’s love story, part of the Broken Redemption Series—a collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. Each couple’s journey is told across multiple books, and this one begins right here with Book 1.

If you’ve already fallen for our first couple, Lucas & Emilia, you’ll notice little echoes and cameos as you read. If you haven’t read their story yet, no worries. You can dive in with James & Annelly and still feel right at home.

If you’d like to start at the very beginning of the Broken Redemption Series, the journey begins with Broken Vows (Lucas & Emilia Book 1).

Thank you for being here and for choosing messy, relentless, fight-for-it love.

Let’s begin.
— Ariana

“Not all monsters hide in the dark. Some smile when they break you.”

Annelly
I’m in trouble—the kind of trouble that has me fleeing from my life in the middle of the night, leaving everything behind.

Ruby Creek, the small town where I grew up, seemed like my safest refuge—until I ran straight into him.

James Serrano, the man who shattered my heart, sees through my fear and insists on helping me.

He promises to protect me, to be the man I once believed he could be.

But trusting him again feels impossible when all I can remember is the pain of his indifference and how easily he erased me from his life.

James
I like my life simple and carefree—no attachments, no drama, no regrets.

But when Annelly Conners reappears, scared, heartbreakingly vulnerable, yet so fiercely captivating, she unravels everything I thought I wanted.

If I were smart, I’d walk away like I did before.

Instead, I’m breaking every rule I’ve lived by to protect her—even if it means facing the feelings I swore I’d long buried.

She’s everything I don’t want but seem to need. And now I’m making promises I’m not sure I can keep—because losing her again? That’s a risk I refuse to take.

In the Broken Redemption World, one woman’s fight to reclaim her life collides with a man’s war between love and self-preservation—but the danger closing in could destroy them both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James & Annelly’s story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc.

Each couple’s love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek.

There’s no required reading order, but if you’d like to start at the very beginning, that journey begins with Lucas & Emilia, whose story starts in Broken Vows (Broken Redemption Series – Book 1 of their arc).
