Pretty Broken Things - a...

Kimberly Carrillo

I might be the most promising quarterback in college football today, but once I was just a boy desperately in love with the wrong girl, one I’d very much like to win back. She blocks me better than any player on the field, but to figure out my best play, first I need to understand how we got here. 
We have been apart longer than we were together but we can’t seem to stop torturing each other. Every guy she touches or allows to touch her is like a knife right to my heart. 
Not to be outdone, I play her game. No one will ever accuse me of giving less than everything. These are her rules after all, and I’ve always been competitive. 
I thought her being my stepsister would keep us apart forever, but it’s the damage we did trying to resist each other that sealed our fate. And yet, despite the ways we’ve betrayed each other over and over, I can’t let her go. 
What we have could almost be love if it didn’t hurt so much. 
My heart, black and broken as it may be, will always belong to the girl with sad eyes. Are we damaged beyond repair, or do we dare try one more time? 
This is book one of the Pretty Broken Duet.

Following Clues

Morgan Beringer

She arrives with a suitcase full of odd habits and a talent for turning the mundane into the inexplicable. He’s all routine and reason, a former detective clinging to his rulebook like a lifeline. When a particularly strange case forces their worlds to collide, neither is prepared for what follows. 
Thrown together by accident and stuck by necessity, they form a reluctant team navigating mysteries that defy logic, missing marionettes, suspicious sourdough, and concerts where the music isn’t the weirdest part. While he strives to impose structure, she thrives in the delightful disorder. Each new case drags them further from normalcy, and closer to an understanding they’d never admit. 
Between catastrophes, coffee breaks, and reluctant high-speed chases, they discover that some partnerships aren’t made, they’re thrown together, duct-taped, and somehow, they work.
