She's convinced she's broken. He's determined to show her she's not.

I'd thought Chad Fellows was one of those cute, golden retriever types: easygoing, friendly, and dependable. I'd thought he was safe.
I was wrong.
In a moment of sheer, drunken madness, I confessed my deepest, darkest secrets, and now the time has come to convince Chad that all my clutching and crying meant nothing. I've avoided him for months, and he's been radio silent. I'm worried for nothing. A man like Chad has better options than a repressed, unresponsive woman who doesn't even want to be seen.
He could have any woman he wants. Why would he waste his time on me?

I'd thought Ruby Stiles, with her love of bad-boy musicians who don't treat her the way she deserves, wasn't my type.
I was wrong.
She's nothing I want in a woman. She's messy, complicated, and requires attention I don't want to give. But none of that seems to matter since the night she opened herself up to me and trembled in my arms, lost and vulnerable. There are a million reasons to stay away, but I already know I'm not going to do that. I need to see the woman buried beneath the shame. Need to be the man to tear down her walls and empower her to be the woman she's meant to be.
She wants to hide, but that's not possible. I won't allow it.
Debauched is a 1st-person, dual POV standalone novel in the Undone series featuring a heroine in the midst of an identity crisis, and an unshakable hero with a heart of gold who will challenge your definition of dominance.
Jennifer Dawson (1929–2000) studied at Oxford, where she suffered a breakdown and spent several months in a hospital. After graduating in 1954, Dawson worked as a teacher in a convent in France, a welfare worker in London’s East End, and a social worker in a psychiatric hospital. Her experience both as a mental health professional and patient formed the basis for The Ha-Ha, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was adapted for the stage and broadcast by the BBC. Over her lifetime, Dawson wrote six more novels, a collection of short stories, and coauthored a children’s book.
