Summary

Imprisoned beneath the estate that once promised her freedom, Georgia Steele is forgotten by the world and held captive by the man who vowed to love her. But love was never Carlisle Bracondale’s intention—it was vengeance, meticulously sharpened and savored. Now, locked within the cold stone belly of Brocandale Manor, Georgia's world narrows to a cracked wall, a ticking routine, and the haunting echo of her own thoughts. There are no windows. No sky. No sense of time but the meals delivered like clockwork and the pills slipped in to rot her will. Her voice has long since gone hoarse from screams no one ever answered. And as the days bleed into each other, Georgia begins to wonder if she’s already been buried alive. But madness is a slow, seductive thing. And Georgia isn’t as broken as she seems. As she maps every inch of her underground prison, she starts to unearth something deeper: the crumbling edges of her mind, yes—but also the fragile shards of a plan. The cracks in the stone. The fault lines in Carlisle’s carefully constructed illusion. She may be trapped. But she’s not done. Told in a voice that drips with psychological torment and gothic dread, Fractured & Broken delves into the unraveling of a woman gaslit, confined, and pushed to the edge of her sanity—and the dangerous clarity that comes with standing on that edge.
