Fractured by Elle Charles πŸ’• FREE Book Blitz & Gift Card Giveaway πŸ’• (Contemporary Romance)



How do you learn to remember when you have forced yourself to forget?

How do you learn to trust when those who were meant to protect you failed?

Catering assistant, Kara Petersen, leads a quiet, monotonous life until a simple twist of fate changes everything.

The sparks fly when Kara meets handsome, enigmatic, Sloan Foster. Dominant in the boardroom and successful in the bedroom, he always gets what he wants – and he wants her.

Captivated by his charm and aloof confidence, Kara is drawn to him in a way she has never been to anyone before. Aware something isn’t quite right, and against her better judgement, she concedes his intense allure is too strong to resist and their innocent fling swiftly develops into something she could never have imagined.

But in this outwardly perfect world of wealth and glamour, all that glitters isn’t gold. And as the mystery behind the man begins to slowly unravel, so does her life.

Now, with her heart and trust on the line, Kara is learning more about herself than she ever thought possible, from a man who seemingly knows more than he should. And the memories she forced herself to forget, are the ones she now desperately needs to remember…

Fractured is the first gripping instalment of Elle Charles’ dark, contemporary, romantic suspense series. Featuring unpredictable plot twists and endearing characters, this sensual, compelling saga of enduring love, ceaseless passion and sacrifice will keep you turning pages until the very end!

Perfect for fans of Sylvia Day, E L James, Aleatha Romig and Helen Hardt.

Fractured Series FAQ’s:

Should The Fractured Series be read in order?
Yes. Books 1 – 3 (including 2.5) should be read in order as they are a continuing story. Book 4 can be read as a standalone, and while it isn’t essential, it is advisable to read the original trilogy due to the story ARC and the character relationships.

Are the books based on real life events?
No, they are a work of fiction. However, many aspects of the story are personal to me, and I have elaborated these for creative purposes.

Are you writing any more in the series?
Yes. I am currently working on two separate novels featuring the characters of Jeremy and Julia. I am also tinkering with some plot lines for a new standalone novel, completely unrelated to the series.

When will they be available?
These are currently a work in progress due to other demands/restraints upon my time. I shall provide periodical updates as they are further advanced.

In the future, if you re-release the books with bonus scenes, additional content etc, will I be required to buy a further copy?
No. If I do revise the books to include any previously unpublished material, I will add the new content to the website and I will also supply a copy for your chosen e-reader upon request. I appreciate not everyone wants to read bonus material on a website – I’m one of them! I also feel it is unfair to expect readers to constantly dip into their pockets and buy new ‘exclusive’ books due to additional content being added. It is a duplicitous practice.

Will your books be available in paperback in the future?
Yes. I am currently working on releasing them in physical format. I will make an announcement when they are available.

Will the series ever be made into a TV series or a movie?
I am often asked this, and all I can say is anything can happen in the future! Like most writers, I am open to all new opportunities.

Are there any playlists associated with the novels?
Any future playlists for the novels will be available to view on the blog.

Ebooks FAQ’s:

Where can I buy your ebooks?
My novels are currently exclusive to Amazon.

Can I borrow your ebooks from an e-library?
No, they are not available through e-library services.

I don’t have an e-reader and have no inclination to buy one in the future. How can I read your books?
My novels are currently exclusive to Amazon. If you do not have an e-reader, you can download the free Kindle reading app from Amazon.

Please note any additional content I may release in the future will require you to have installed the app if you do not wish to read on the website.

Do you sell ebooks directly?

No. Please visit your country’s Amazon site to purchase my novels.

Where can I pre-order your books?
Any future releases that are available to pre-order will be announced via my blog, Facebook or Twitter. Please ensure you sign up for my newsletter to keep up to date of any new releases in the future.



I slowly take in the room; clean lines of glass and dark wood, expensive fabrics and leather. Opulence seems to be a running theme here from what I can see. Rich shades of cream and brown finish the room beautifully. The whole place screams money and success, and it’s absolutely stunning. Suddenly, I realise why the man downstairs eyed me like shit; I don’t belong here, and neither does Sam. I bite down on my lip to suppress the panic rising up from the confines of my stomach.
Then the door clicks shut behind me.
I spin around, and my mouth dries out almost instantly, as I prepare myself to come face to face with the sneering, dirty bastard again.
Oh. Holy. Fuck!
It’s not the sneering, dirty bastard.
I wilt where I stand. My lungs actually stop operating momentarily, and my heart shudders like it has been finally shocked from a long, deep slumber. My whole body currently feels on fire for some unknown, inexplicable reason.
“I have already had my doctor take a look at her. She seems to be fine, just, well...she's high.”
He folds his impressive, muscular arms over his equally impressive, muscular chest, and he leans back against the closed door. My eyes drop to his feet, and ever so slowly, work their way up his body. Tanned bare feet, long muscular legs and thick thighs, wrapped up in worn, faded blue jeans. The fitted white t-shirt encasing his torso does nothing to hide the perfectly defined ridges of his stomach, chest and shoulders. The outlines are more than visible underneath the stretched fabric. I gulp excessively, open-mouthed and speechless, at the faultless specimen of male perfection towering over me.
I stare up at him, my lips part and my eyes widen. His face is heavenly; beautiful, naturally bronzed skin, a strong, chiselled jaw, set under perfect cheekbones. His nose is straight and flawlessly proportioned. He has the darkest, yet clearest midnight blue eyes I have ever seen. In fact, I’m positive I have never seen such a colour before. He seems piqued by my stare, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
My hands clench at my sides in desperation, and my tongue slides over my bottom lip. All I can think about is running my hands over his sexy, slightly too long dark locks, while his tongue….
Oh my God! What the hell?!
A nervous feeling wells up in my stomach, twisting into knots deep in my gut. I place a hand over my belly, but the feeling shifts south and suddenly can I feel heat pooling at my core profusely. His eyes remain locked on mine, and I’m dying to rub my thighs together to alleviate the tension that is building immensely.
I chew my lip timidly. Is he aware of what I am doing and that he’s instigating it? He smirks a little. Of course, he’s aware! Look at him! Any woman would be brain dead not to want him. Even my asexual self is not immune, judging by the way my body is reacting to him.
He arches up an eyebrow over his stunning dark blue, now virtually black eyes. He is fully aware that I am shamelessly checking him out, amongst other things, while my poor friend is lying in pain only a few feet away. I mentally scold myself for such uncharacteristic behaviour. Yet I can’t help it, this man has ignited something in me. I can’t even begin to fathom where it is coming from.
I need to get out of here.
I need to get away from him.
Feeling painfully aware, I wrap my arms around my middle and shift from one foot to the other, desperate to eradicate these alien sensations bubbling copiously inside my body. He remains motionless watching me, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable under his roving eye. The way he’s studying me makes me want to run for cover. I don’t know what it is, but there is a familiarity in his eyes that is unmistakable. I also don’t misinterpret the ghost of a smile forming on his lips.
Somewhere, I think I have seen him before.
“Thank you,” I whisper, averting my eyes, desperately trying to control the heat my body is emanating. I don’t know what else to say. All words have left me, and for the first time in my life, I actually feel something that I can definitely say I have not experienced previously.
Sexual attraction.
It is something that no man has ever elicited in me, not even come close to.
Well, maybe once, many years ago.

Every action has a consequence...

...and this is the aftermath

My name is Kara Petersen.

I am one of life’s survivors, but my life has not been easy.

I am the product of a dysfunctional, broken home and parents who don’t care.

Fallen from grace, abandoned and betrayed, I am now alone.

Then there was hope. A boy, a saviour. He saved me, empowered me, and gave me the strength and courage to leave.

To live.

His actions will not be in vain.

I will do whatever it takes to survive.

My name is Sloan Foster.

I am one of life’s successful failures, but my life has not been fair.

I am the product of a loving home, a mother and father who adored each other, until death paved the way for the devil.

Trapped inside a world with a gilded façade, I have always felt alone.

Then there was hope.

A girl, an angel, a beacon of pure light in the dark. She subconsciously called to me, reached deep into my soul, unknowingly claiming a part of myself I had let die years ago.

I promised I would do whatever it took to be her protector. My promises were unachievable and futile.

I will do whatever it takes to find her again...

The breath-taking conclusion to Kara and Sloan's love story

Fleeing the world that was determined to never let her go, Kara is back living a solitary life. Hiding away, once again, she is forging an existence from the torn shreds left behind.

Still dreaming of the life that had been stolen from her; still in dangerously love with the man that coaxed her from the darkness, she has blindly convinced herself her choices are the right ones. Her absolution to stay hidden is robust and unbreakable, until familiar faces resurface, bringing with them heart-breaking truths she cannot ignore.

Facing up to the consequences of her actions and the decisions she has made, running is no longer an option, but returning will prove to be the hardest thing she ever does.

Passion will be reignited, secrets will be revealed and dreams shall finally be fulfilled.

The stunning fourth instalment of the Fractured Series

Dare to dream…

Dare to have it all…

Events co-ordinator Marie Dawson never thought she would experience the all-consuming passionate love she once believed in. Married and divorced by 25, she had long resigned herself to being single and independent, until ruggedly handsome security specialist and ex-army powerhouse, John Walker, barged his way into her life.

Now, at the age of 42, Marie finally has it all: a successful business, a loving family, and a devoted man who can bring her to her knees.

Life is perfect. But perfection cannot endure in a relationship built on half-truths and secrets. And if there is one thing Marie is well practised in, it’s secrets. How to keep them, how to protect them, how to pretend they don’t exist; and after 23 years of stringently guarding hers, she knows just how dangerous and destructive they can be.

Underneath her perfectly polished exterior, Marie hides a dark past – one she has dared not speak of in over two decades for fear of the consequences.

But she has always known that one day she would have to lay her secrets bare, and when the past and present finally threaten to collide, she is aware she may find herself more than faithless…

Faithless is the fourth instalment of Elle Charles’ gripping contemporary romantic suspense series. Featuring unpredictable plot twists and endearing characters, this sensual, compelling saga of enduring love, ceaseless passion and sacrifice will keep you turning pages until the very end!

Perfect for fans of Sylvia Day, E L James, Aleatha Romig and Helen Hardt.

Elle was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, where she still resides.

After many years of putting aside her creative ideas, in 2012, she was inspired to write again. The surprising result was her debut, contemporary romance novel, Fractured. The first of the series, books two and three, Tormented and Liberated, followed in close succession, along with the accompanying novella, Aftermath.

A self-confessed daydreamer, she loves to create strong, sexy and diverse characters, cocooned in opulent yet realistic settings that draw the reader in with every twist and turn until the very last page.

A voracious reader for as long as she can remember, she is never without her beloved Kindle. When she is not absorbed in the newest release or a trusted classic, she can often be found huddled over her laptop, tapping away new ideas and plots for forthcoming works.
