Damaged Intimacy is the first book in a complete contemporary romance series from internationally best-selling author Hanleigh Bradley.

Coming home to London, Tallulah is looking for a second chance, a fresh start. Her friends know something is wrong, but they have no idea what’s she’s running from. Tallulah is not herself. The usually happy, bubbly, excitable girl is faking it. Inside, she’s a complete mess, but she refuses to tell anyone why, choosing to keep it a secret - a secret that makes her skin crawl and leaves her crying herself to sleep. She tells herself she’ll be okay. That she can cope. She can forget about how damaged she is, forget what she’s run away from. She’s fighting to hold it together.

When she meets Jarrod, he’s everything she’s ever wanted. He’s a hot, suited, motorbike-riding boss with a soft heart. As perfect as Jarrod as, she can’t date him. She’s not the same girl she used to be, and now, she doesn’t think she deserves what she once wanted.

Damaged Intimacy is the first book in a complete contemporary romance series. This is a story of bravery and overcoming immense obstacles. It's about choosing to trust again when your every instinct tells you not to.
