Shattered Glass. The WCU Chronicles, #4

Headline: When the glass shatters, the pieces are always sharp. Elena Raymond's "Cinderella" moment ended in a mud-stained heap on a motel floor. The scholarship is gone. Her mother's pride is a ghost. And the man she thought was her salvation is the one who held the matches while her world burned. But Elena isn't hiding in the shadows anymore. She's learned that in the Sterling District, you don't play for love-you play for survival.
Julian Vance is a man with a broken hand and a debt he can never truly repay. He's been the villain, the bully, and the target. Now, he's becoming the shadow. While Leo waits in his ivory tower and his father pulls the strings of the Vance inheritance, Julian is ready to bleed to clear Elena's path. He didn't want to be the hero who saved her. He wanted to be the monster that cleared the way so she never has to look back.
The bet has evolved. The stakes have reached their breaking point. And at Western Central University, everyone is about to find out what happens when the "Good Girl" stops running and starts fighting back. Warning: Shattered Glass is a Dark New Adult Romance featuring billionaire tropes, intense emotional conflict, and a brooding anti-hero. Recommended for readers 18+.
