Elyse Heartwell: Breaking Perfect, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In a home where obedience meant safety, perfection was survival. Failure was unforgivable. When she broke, everything did. But for the first time, she could breathe.

Geraldine Dawson grew up under the rule of a power-hungry, narcissistic father. Control was hidden behind a manipulative mask. Appearances and wealth were everything. Love wasn't given freely-it was earned. Silence was demanded. His authority was quiet, but absolute. Geraldine's greatest rebellion was hating every second of it.

When she meets Lucas King, a fierce boxer who refuses to back down or play by anyone's rules, something dangerous begins to happen. Power starts to feel threatened. Perfection cracks. Threats and ultimatums are issued. Geraldine begins to question what she's been taught to accept as normal-and starts looking for a way out But, leaving isn't easy. And it comes with consequences.

As pressure tightens, anger explodes. Safety fractures. Violence and retaliation follow, and the damage reaches far beyond Geraldine.

Breaking Perfect is a character-driven psychological women's fiction novel about trauma, identity, and emotional survival under coercive control-where fear and desperation weigh the same, but only one can win.

What happens when silence is no longer safe? If you're going to burn, burn for something real.
