Abandoned
as a child and raised in a brothel, Gabriel St. Croix has
never known tenderness, friendship, or affection. Although
fluent in sex, he knows nothing of love. Lost and alone
inside a nightmare world, all he's ever wanted was companionship
and a place to belong. Hiding physical and emotional scars
behind an icy façade, his only relationship is with
a young boy he has spent the last five years protecting
from the brutal reality of their environment. But all that
is about to change. The boy's family has found him, and
they are coming to take him home.
Sarah Munroe blames herself for her brother's disappearance.
When he's located, safe and unharmed despite where he has
been living, Sarah vows to help the man who rescued and protected
him in any way she can. With loving patience she helps Gabriel
face his demons and teaches him to trust in friendship and
love. But when the past catches up with him, Gabriel must
face it on his own.
Becoming a mercenary,
pirate and a professional gambler, Gabriel travels to London,
France, and the Barbary Coast in a desperate
attempt to find Sarah again and all he knows of love. On the
way, however, he will discover the most dangerous journey,
and the greatest gamble of all, is within the darkest reaches
of his own heart.
Reviews
"Judith
James fearlessly bursts through the ceiling of the historical
romance genre and soars to astounding
heights. Her writing is intriguing, daring, exquisitely dark,
and emotionally riveting. Never predictable, Broken Wing had
me captivated me from the first compelling page to the last
passionate, heartstopping word. If you are looking for
a book that is unique, bold and courageous - or a writer who
is not afraid to break the rules - immerse yourself in Broken
Wing. Judith James is a rare talent and a great discovery.
She has made a stunning, magnificent debut."
~ USA Today bestselling author, Julianne MacLean
"Judith
James' rich prose and witty, articulate dialogue enhance
this story
of a complex man, bitterly wounded by life,
who finds self-worth through love. A fresh and passionate
tale, Broken Wing enchants the reader with original
characters and a compelling romance set against the colorful
tapestry
of England, France, and North Africa in the turbulent years
of Napoleon's rise to power."
~ Laura Leone, author of Fallen From Grace.

“It was exciting and compelling—even when the
hero and heroine were… gasp… apart.”
