We were each other’s firsts.

First kiss. First love. First heartbreak.

Dominic Moretti was the boy who stole my heart at sixteen and promised me forever.

The boy who I held together when his world fell apart.

The boy I thought I’d marry one day.

Then one night, one mistake, and the trust we’d built since childhood went up in flames.

Now I’m fighting to protect whats left of my heart.

But one look from him, and every memory comes rushing back.

Loving Dom almost destroyed me the first time

What happens if loving him again finishes the job?

Fans of Colleen Hoover, Emily Henry, and Nicholas Sparks will love Bruised Heart, a heartfelt contemporary romance about childhood sweethearts torn apart by betrayal, tested by heartbreak, and forced to decide if first love can really survive forever.
