Zane
Tishler moved in with his brother after his nightmare divorce to find
that his brother had taken in a “stray”, a punk
chick with a bad attitude. Liliosa Cortez found a place to start over
in a city built for hiding. But when her roommate’s brother
moved in she pegged him for a pretty boy with enough baggage to fill
a semi and major hostility toward women. But now, after two years,
Lili and Zane have become best friends and the perfect
“wingmen.” They’ve developed a system
for tagging and bagging tourists. No strings attached. They are
partners in crime who have managed to have the time of their lives in
the City of Sin.
Life would be perfect if they could
keep it this way, but a new player in the game makes both Lili and
Zane face the feelings they had not been prepared to notice. What
happens when dangerous shadows from a forgotten past find their way
into the neon spotlights? What happens when the fuse is lit on all
those emotions they have deeply buried?
Can they survive the explosion or will
the backlash tear them and everyone they love apart?
When two pasts become one present in
the searing Nevada heat…
When two realities collide under the
lights of Vegas…
When two lives are threatened due to
secrets and lies…
What do you do when you find out your
perfect world is Perfectly Broken?

Liliosa
Cortez has spent years hiding from her past. Unfortunately, no one
can hide forever. Now, she’s forced to admit her mistakes
and make a decision. Does she let those around her in to help, or go
at it alone? Conquer her demons head-on, or remain by Zane’s
side while he fights his own?
Zane Tishler is a master at avoiding
the difficult parts of his past. He learned early in life that charm
will get you a long way in the world and deception is easier than
hard truths. Sometimes, old habits die hard. When his past mistakes
start making continuous reappearances, he is faced with some of the
most crucial decisions he’s ever made.
It took a near-tragedy for Zane and
Lili to admit their feelings for one another. If they could survive
that explosion, wading through the debris left by the past should be
a breeze, right?
When you have secrets, they can rip
ragged holes in the ties that bind even the strongest relationships.
When you know the secrets you keep make you a monster, one unworthy
of love, you hold a power that can tear you apart from the inside...
and take down those closest to you in the process.
What do you do when realize
you’re Unforgivably Broken?

Before
Perfectly Broken, before a beautiful relationship can start, the bond
that solidifies who Lili and Zane are together must form. Beginnings
are always the first step in building something stunning, something
undeniably perfect…
The first holiday…
Things are tense between Zane, Lili,
and Tish. They’re all still adapting to living in the
house, Zane’s divorce has just been finalized, and
he’s pissed off at the world. A bright light, however,
shines in his world of darkness. Will the person he's hated
since their first meeting be the one to help him turn things
around?
The second holiday…
One year later, we find a much more
settled family. Zane and Lili are falling into a pattern, learning to
trust and lean on one another, but one wrong move, just the tiniest
of slips, could ruin what is finally feeling solid for the both of
them.
The beginning of
tradition…
New Year’s Eve brings a fresh
start, a chance to wipe the slate clean and begin again. Knowing your
history, and where you come from, might be all that keeps you going
when your whole world falls apart.
The
strength of the holidays, family, new beginnings, and acceptance, is
how their broken pieces begin to glue themselves back together again,
if only for a little while…

“What
the fuck was that tonight?” he asked. His voice was low and
controlled but his grip on my arm told me he was still
pissed.
“What
was what?” I countered, tugging against his hand. I
didn’t fight to break it, just to remind him that he had
ahold of me. His fingers loosened, but he didn’t release
me.
“You
know what. You were being a fucking cockblocker
for no reason. What the hell is up with you?” His tone, and
the fact that he’d adapted this habit of talking to me like
I was one of the guys, was really starting to wear on me. Add that to
the fact that I’d gotten the second threat on my job
because he couldn’t keep it in his pants and I’d
had enough.
“All
I did was point out the obvious. You’re the one who’s
unconcerned with anything aside from how fast you can stick your dick
in someone,” I replied, tugging against his grip again,
this time wanting space. He released me, his eyes narrowing as he
opened his mouth to speaking. I continued before he could,
steamrolling over his protest. “Don’t even try to
deny it. It’s the only reason you even go out. And
honestly, it’s sad. A chick who I can only imagine you had
to gag to even get it up made your night a success. Congratulations
on that. Really. It’s quite an accomplishment to fuck
someone who probably had the jizz of her last partner still drying on
her panties. If she even bothered to wear
any.”
Zane
stared at me, eyebrows raised.
“Finished?”
“Yup.”
I lifted my chin.
“Have
you ever tried it?” he asked, leaning against the
wall.
“I
ran back through our conversation in my head. “Tried
what?”
“Casual
sex,” he answered, crossing his arms over his
chest.
“You’d
be surprised by what I’ve tried,” I said, my tone
arctic. He tilted his head, his expression questioning.
“Don’t even think about
asking.”
A slow
grin spread across his face. “You can’t drop a
bomb like that and expect me not to
ask.”
“Just
because I don’t flaunt it and fuck a different person every
night doesn’t mean I don’t have ways to take care
of my needs,” I clarified, wishing I
hadn’t brought up the subject as flashes of last night with
Tony played through my mind.
“A
fuck buddy?” He laughed. “You’re
telling me you have a fuck buddy?”
Irritation
raged through me like wildfire. The laugh was degrading and I
couldn’t decide whether it was because I had
a fuck buddy, or because he found the idea that I could have a fuck
buddy so hilarious. Either way, he was pissing me off.
“I’m telling you that who I fuck is none of your
business.”
His
expression cooled instantly. As if someone flipped a switch, all of
his previous humor wiped away.
“Exactly.”
If only
it were possible for eyes to wage
war…
Zane
Tishler has never been the All-American picture of happiness. Every
time he seems to get his feet under him, someone or something has to
rip away his chances at healing. His girlfriend and son are missing
after a devastating fire that left the home they shared in ruins,
along with his life. How long can someone cling to hope without the
two most important people in their life?
Liliosa Cortez has always been a
runner. It’s how she’s survived for as long as
she has. But, there comes a point when you just can’t run
anymore. Lost in a world darker than she ever could’ve
imagined, she has to figure out how to live with the choices
she’s made — in her past and now. She has to act
fast if she’s going to save the people she loves.
That’s what matters. Even more than her own life.
Zane and Lili were finally finding
their very own happily ever after when tragedy struck. What happened
the day of the fire? Where are Lili and Conner? How can Zane and
their family deal with this deep of a loss?
What happens when your world is turned
upside down and guilt eats at you during every waking moment?
What do you do when all hope fades and
leaves you Silently Broken?
Maegan
despises writing about herself in the third person. She also hates
touting her accomplishments like she thinks she’s really
done anything special…
Now that
we got that out of the way, I’ll tell you what you need to
know. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I went back to school
in my late twenties and studied Stage Production Technology. I now
work full-time in the alterations shop of a major department store
and part-time backstage in the various theatres around the
area.
I’ve
been an avid reader from a very young age and the top goal on my list
of things to accomplish in my life was to write and publish a book.
During the summer of 2013, while working backstage on The Lion King,
I read eleven books in four weeks. I read my first New Adult book and
was introduced to a genre I felt I could totally relate to. The idea
for Perfectly Broken and the character of Lili was born backstage
during that time.
