Shattered Promises: A Shattered Hearts Series Novel

By Cadence Sinclair

Lila Hart was the girl who always stayed in the background-quiet, steady, and fiercely loyal to the one person who made life feel bright.

Emma Chen was her best friend. Her family. Her light.

And then Emma died... left alone after ballet class when no one came.

Now Lila is drowning in survivor's guilt, furious at the people who failed Emma-and haunted by the truth that she might have failed her too. Because Emma didn't just text that night.

She called.

And Lila didn't answer.

When Noah Reyes steps in, he isn't looking to save anyone. He's simply a steady presence in a world that feels cracked open-protective, quiet, and far too close to Derek's family to be safe. But Noah understands the kind of guilt that doesn't fade, and the kind of grief that can erase a person from the inside out.

What begins as comfort turns into something deeper... and far more dangerous. Because Lila doesn't feel ready to be touched, to be wanted, to be alive again.

But Noah makes her feel it anyway.

Shattered Promises is a deeply emotional, spicy contemporary romance about grief, forbidden comfort, and the hard choice to survive. Some hearts don't heal neatly.

They heal in pieces-one breath, one truth, and one kiss at a time.
