Broken (Brody Brothers Book 4) Read online

  “I’m ordering framed portraits of this family photo, so all four of you Brody brothers can point to it as proof that love, and brotherhood, can get you through even the worst of times. As long as you four stuck together, you were able to make something not just of Green Rock Ranch, but of yourselves.”

  He chuckled and pulled up a chair next to her. “Green Rock Ranch was already a force to behold by the time my brothers and I came along.”

  “Not like it is now. The four of you took the foundation that was there and built the ranch into your very own empire. But more importantly, each and every one of you found a way to make sure love triumphed over the hate you endured while growing up. All of you fought for your happiness in ways that your father never did. And the result of that is something you can see in this photo. Joy and love. It’s there for you to see in every face.”

  He glanced at the photo before his attention shifted to her. “You know what I see?”

  “What?”

  “I see my world.” A corner of his mouth curled as one hand dived under her hair to cup her nape, while the other gently rested on his son’s head. “You gave me a reason to love being alive. I never had that until you came along, so I didn’t care whether I was alive or dead. Now, with you and Ronan, I can’t imagine ever feeling that way. I love living my life with you too much.”

  “Not too much,” she said, smiling, while Ronan made his greedy little grunting noises as he fed. “You can never have too much love.”

  “Thank God for that,” he murmured, and pulled her in for a kiss.

  Note from the Author

  Hey there!

  I’d like to thank everyone for your understanding when I decided to push back the release of this book a week. The US is going through a painful time right now, and I just couldn’t figure out a way to promote a book while this nation was in mourning. It would have been terribly disrespectful, not to mention in the worst possible taste, so to all of you, I thank you. (((HUGS)))

  Now, on to my latest news!

  At long last, the Brody Brothers series is done. I have no doubt I’ll return to Bitterthorn, Texas at some point, but for right now I have my sights set on going back to Chicago for HOUSE OF PAYNE: SAGE!

  But even before that…

  I’ve basically been in quarantine since March, which means I’ve had a LOT of time to plot and write. I’ve been toying with a couple novella ideas—a quarantine story (gee, I wonder why) and a prequel novella based on secondary characters from LOKI, Joelle Fielding and Gus Bloch. Joelle and Gus spoke to me so vividly during the writing of LOKI that I’ve decided to go that route before hitting SAGE full force.

  Since the Brody Brothers series has now come to an end, it’s also time to turn my attention to Loki’s brother, Tyr. I honestly don’t know if this will be the beginning of a series based around the Gravediggers MC, but I do know I can’t wait to see where these compelling characters take me. 2021 will be Tyr’s year!

  There’s more lust, lies and love to be had in the House that Payne built. Look for HOUSE OF PAYNE: SAGE coming late autumn, 2020!
