About this book
Violet Broadbridge’s Never Fall in Love Again blends mystery and thriller elements with a forbidden romance centered on a man trying to survive unbearable loss. Damien Clarke used to be an exceptional FBI profiler, known for his focus and skill. After losing his wife and daughter, however, grief and guilt leave him changed beyond recognition, and he retreats to a quiet life teaching history at a small-town college.
He wants distance, routine, and no emotional risks. Then an unexpected night with a woman he cannot stop thinking about shakes that fragile balance. By morning she is gone, and he expects never to see her again. Instead, she appears in his classroom, forcing him to confront feelings and memories he has worked hard to suppress. Broadbridge writes a story shaped by heartache, recovery, secrecy, and a connection that feels dangerous precisely because neither of them can easily walk away.
