Story Notes

This story was born from the wreckage. From those sharp, aching moments when something beautiful breaks and you’re left staring at the pieces, wondering what to do next.What Broke First is a messy, emotional ride through betrayal, guilt, and the fragile hope of forgiveness.

It’s not about perfect people. It’s about the people who screw up and still want to be better. The ones who try to stitch things back together with trembling hands and too many regrets.

Matt and Sarah’s story isn’t clean. It isn’t easy. But it’s honest. And if you’ve ever loved hard, hurt deeply, or stood at the edge of something ending… I think you’ll feel seen here. You may find yourself angry and yelling at the characters.

Thanks for being brave enough to walk through it with them.

Summary

Matt Taylor had it all, until he threw it away for a mistake with a name, a desk, and a dangerous smile. Now single, disgraced, and disoriented, he’s trying to become the man he should have been all along. Sarah Taylor never saw it coming. One confession, and everything she believed about her life shattered. With two kids, a bruised heart, and a mile-high wall around her trust, she’s determined to move forward. Alone. But when co-parenting turns messy, apologies start to sound sincere, and old sparks refuse to stay buried, Sarah has to ask the one question she swore she never would: Can you ever trust the man who already taught you how not to? What Broke First is the explosive, emotionally unfiltered debut in the Cheating Asshole Series—a raw, sharp, and ridiculously sexy exploration of what happens when the man who shattered you might be the only one who truly sees you.
