On Fractured Ground: Book 1 of the Shattered Lives Chronicles

As a child, Tylar Daislea was abandoned at Cellar Institute. A despicable fortress with just one directive: to brainwash, train, and traffic women. Introduced to her first trainer at sixteen, she excelled through the initial two years of skills. Until one fateful afternoon, when it all fell apart. When Tylar leads a second skill trainer to ruin, Corbin Manning receives the call. His father's unsolved murder left him in charge of the illicit facility his family established decades ago. Forced to return to an underground world he always loathed, Tylar's behavior threatens to drive him past the brink of his tolerance. Thrust into the middle is Corbin's most trusted employee, Chase Tiburon. Faced with a distasteful decision, Chase must return to his former life as a skill trainer or take on a task that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
