I'd always wondered why people who'd throw away an appliance that had ceased to function would hang on to a marriage that no longer worded. Next to my husband, the only man I'd ever love, ever made love with, ever slept besides, I thought I knew. Hope.' Once a month two strangers meet on a park bench. He tells her about his sexual exploits; she listens. She's drawn to him, excited by his openness, turned on, but resists the intense chemistry between them. She then returns to her husband, the love of her life, the person who could satisfy her body, mind and soul – until a tragic accident paralysed him from the neck down, changing their lives forever. Incredibly erotic and painfully emotional in equal measures, this unique, heartbreaking novel will stay with you long after you've finished the last page. In Broken, the line between what is right and wrong is blurred, and Sadie's journey will have you asking: What would I do if I were in her shoes? The second of an eight-part story.
