Damaged Goods (Unabridged‪)‬

Dante Good never had a chance at a normal life.

Orphaned before he could form his first memory, abandoned by the very family who should’ve protected him, and raised in a home where love came with bruises and punishment, Dante grows up believing pain is all he’ll ever deserve. Every betrayal hardens him. Every loss pushes him further into darkness.

When the one person he trusts steals his innocence, the lines between love, loyalty, and manipulation become forever blurred. A forced military career, unimaginable heartbreak, and a lifetime of buried trauma send Dante down a dangerous path where power replaces peace, the streets become his sanctuary, and becoming a feared kingpin feels easier than facing the broken little boy still trapped inside him.

But when an unexpected love challenges everything he’s built, Dante is forced to confront the one enemy he’s never been able to escape himself. As his past collides with his future, he’ll have to decide whether damaged people are destined to stay broken… or if redemption is worth risking everything.

Raw. Unforgettable. Heartbreaking. Damaged Goods is an emotional urban fiction novel about trauma, survival, faith, love, and the fight to reclaim a soul the world tried to destroy.
