Shattered: A Gritty & Darkly Romantic Noir

By Bella S. Forrest

A Noir Series Thriller

Lydia thought she had nothing left to lose. Venice Beach had chewed her up and spit her out, leaving her with nothing but a string of bad choices, a lingering addiction, and the ghost of a life she barely survived. But when Caleb-a smooth-talking thief with his own bruised soul-pulls her back into the underworld she vowed to escape, the line between survival and surrender blurs.

Their dangerous partnership is a high-stakes gamble, breaking into the gilded mansions of Malibu's elite to steal the treasures that keep them tethered to their pasts. As the stakes rise, so does the tension between them-raw, volatile, and impossible to ignore. But even as they grow closer, shadows from Lydia's past resurface, threatening to shatter the fragile trust they've built.

In a world of lies, betrayal, and stolen moments, Lydia and Caleb must navigate a labyrinth of danger while chasing the one thing they crave most: freedom. But when the sins of the past come calling, will they find a way to escape the wreckage-or will the weight of their secrets tear them apart?

Dark, seductive, and heartbreakingly human, Shattered is the sixth gripping installment in Bella S. Forrest's Noir series, where love, survival, and redemption are tangled in a web of shadows.
