*My name is Tina and this is my story. In the fullness of time I have gone from victim to survivor of child abuse, but it was hard work getting there. I am fortunate; I found good friends who helped me on my journey. Read how my life was turned from one of horror to one of happiness. * Author’s note: This is a stand-alone work of fiction. It is a survivor story followed by a romance. It is different from my other books. Without the darkness there is no light. So we go through the horrendous start to get to the happy ending. Tina eventually finds some lovely friends who have their own stories to tell. I have written this to offer hope to survivors of child abuse, and to help inform the general public of the signs to watch out for. There is so much help out there; you can overcome your bad experiences. Because it is for a good cause, this book will permanently be sold for 99c/99p (or equivalent in other currencies). My proceeds from the first month of Broken & Damaged Love’s sales will be donated to HAVOCA Please note that due to the theme of child abuse and sexually explicit scenes, this book is recommended for readers of 18+ I have named the chapters, so if you’re sensitive to certain bits/have triggers you should at least have a warning and the option to avoid the parts you really can’t face yet.**
