Discover Damaged Love. A hauntingly beautiful debut novel by Lee Emery, about passion, heartbreak, and the healing power of second chances.
Emily Wilson thought college would mark the start of her happily-ever-after, but one night changed everything. Dreams shattered, trust destroyed, and hope turned to ashes. Now, she hides behind walls built to protect what’s left of her heart.
Then comes Alec, a man ruled by duty, until he meets the one person who makes him question it all. Drawn to Emily’s broken strength, he wants to be her safe place… but his own secret might destroy them both.
Damaged Love is a raw, emotional story of heartbreak, trust, and the courage to love again.
“She thought she was too broken to love. He was determined to prove her wrong.”
Lee Emery is a contemporary romantic suspense author and proud mom to a teenage daughter who keeps life interesting. When she’s not escaping into a love story, she’s supported by her husband of twenty-five years and her loyal dog, Charlie, who’s always by her side.

One date changed everything.
Not a romantic date, but a date on the calendar. A specific date.
It marked the beginning of loss, loneliness, and the kind of grief that never truly heals. Even after thirteen years, it still has the power to knock me down, devastate me, and evoke sadness, anger, guilt, and emptiness.
I was a carefree eighteen-year-old with dreams painted on a blank canvas. But that day shattered it all, leaving me scarred, cautious, and searching for something beyond the numbness. Beyond the denial.
This is what happens when one careless decision destroys the life you thought you’d have, and what it takes to rebuild from the ashes.

I want to thank every reader who has chosen to read my book.
Your support gives me the chance to share my stories, and for that, I’m truly grateful.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself, remember the story of the bumblebee.
By all logic, it shouldn’t be able to fly, yet it does. You can “bee” anything you want if you bee-lieve in yourself.
From the bottom of this debut author’s heart, thank you for joining me in this dream.
I’ve always been fascinated by stories about resilience,
the kind that show how people rebuild themselves after life has torn them apart.
Writing Damaged Love began as a whisper in my mind nearly a decade ago.
I carried it quietly for years, started a journal, joined
countless book groups and clubs, and was finally encouraged to bring it to life.
My stories are about heartbreak, healing, and the courage it takes to love again. It is raw, emotional, and sometimes a little messy. Because real love isn’t perfect… but it’s always worth fighting for.
“From the very first page, Em grabbed my heart and refused to let go. Em is so vividly real, I could feel her pulse in every scene. What begins as a story of quiet longing quickly spirals into an emotional whirlwind of passion, risk, and self-discovery. By the end I was wishing for just one more chapter. Em is a perfect storm of excitement, romance, and heart.”
"A beautifully written romance that kept me turning pages late into the night. The chemistry between the characters felt authentic and deeply emotional, I was completely drawn in from start to finish. The story's emotional depth and genuine connection make it an unforgettable read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!”
