Beautiful Broken Promises — Kimberly Lauren

Every day you stay gone
I die a thousand more deaths

Lane Parker has secrets he hasn't even told his closest friends. He may have earned their respect but it's undeserved. He may seem genuine but he's a total fraud. He may look strong, but on the inside he's weak and drowning with no chance of catching his breath any time soon.

After four years, Lane finally gets the call he's been waiting for. Given back a piece of the life he's been fighting so hard to reclaim, will he be able to handle everything that comes along with it? And if so, can all of his broken promises be redeemed?

So, I don't give up and I won't let them win
I will find you and I will make sure that you know
You're my everything

Lane Parker has suffered a terrible loss: a loss he can't get over, not even years later. Burdened by secrets he won't tell his closest friends and focused on only one goal, he finally gets the phone call he's been waiting for. Luck gives him a precious second chance to get back what was taken from him -- and he'll use all his strength to make sure that the tragedy never happens again.

Raegan Hayes former nanny for Lane Parker is a spirited fighter and survivor -- and she's furious at Lane, her former employer, after their paths cross at a police station and he accuses her of betrayal. Now, they both must move forward to get past the tragic incident that tore them apart long ago. But the more time Lane spends with the beautiful Raegan, the more he becomes drawn to her…and the more his passion overpowers his hostility. Can a new beginning transform their relationship from suspicion-filled to steamy?
