Broken By You

Ren Ashford knows what power looks like. He spent years surviving it. He never expected to become the man holding it.

Six years after Ares Corvus first changed his life, Ren finally has something he once thought impossible: a marriage he chose, work that matters, and a place at the table.

Then the Reyes-Corvus Trust turns its attention to Alder Ridge-a residential program with a spotless paper trail and former residents telling a very different story.

Ren knows people are being hurt. He also knows the lawful route could take months.

And for the first time in his life, he has enough knowledge, authority, and influence to make things happen faster.

The frightening part is how easy it becomes.

When Ren crosses a line in the name of doing the right thing, Ares recognizes the pattern before anyone else does. He has lived it. He has spent years learning not to turn certainty into permission.

This time, he refuses to help the man he loves become what they both once feared.

Meanwhile, a man from Ren's past returns carrying the truth about a debt Ren has allowed everyone-including Ares-to misunderstand for years. Old desire, old shame, and unfinished questions begin colliding with the life Ren fought so hard to build.

Because being right does not make every method right.

And love cannot save someone by surrendering every boundary.

In the third book of The Corvus Legacy, the balance of power finally shifts-and Ren must decide what kind of man he will be when nobody can stop him.

Broken By You is an emotionally intense M/M romance featuring established partners, morally complicated choices, addiction recovery themes, past and present desire, and open-door sexual content. It is Book Three of The Corvus Legacy and is best read after Driven By You and Chosen By You.
