My rock, my savior, my prince. You found me when I was lost
What inspired Piper & TL to write Battered & Bruised, but not broken
I think our budding friendship and differences in our lives which is the same thing that drew us together. Piper's character is tormented and has been to hell and back. TL's character is someone who's suffered, but still managed to move past his anguish, or so he thought.

Battered & Bruised, but not broken, is an
erotic, male/male, gay romance novel. It's the culmination of two lost souls
finding what they didn't know they were looking for.
Hunter's an ex-con, always in the wrong place at
the wrong times, which is how he landed up in prison. He's looking to start
anew, when in walks Elliott.
Timid , sheltered, Elliott, has his life in
order. Or so he thinks. That is until, Hunter, introduces him to a whole new
world.
Both are battling demons from the past, but what
happens when their two worlds collide?
Where in the hell did I get that prissy, little
take charge, bitch attitude from? That’s so not like me, I’m actually quite the
opposite. Yet every time I’m around Hunter I turn into a fucking queen. But the
way he freaked when I told him I was a virgin sent me into fight or flight mode
and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him or his ‘my shit don’t stink’
attitude get the best of me. Tell me I can come and go as I please, it’s like
‘no fucking shit I can’, but right now, all I want to do is lose my virginity
to this cocky man. Why him? I honestly don’t know, but twenty-three years of
waiting can make a guy do crazy shit.
I know he wants me, it’s written all over his
smug face. I see him grin when he thinks I’m looking the other direction.
There’s a reason our paths keep crossing, call it karma, call it kismet, hell,
call it whatever the fuck you want, but I know damn good and well there’s a
reason for it. But last night, I saw a glimpse of his gentle side— the side
that calls me to him when I shivered while he was undressing me.
As I lay here watching him sleep, I see so much
more in him than he does. I see the gentler, need to be loved side that he
desperately tries to hide behind his tattooed bad boy façade. But what makes
him tick? Baggage he claims, fuck dude, we all have baggage. Try getting
past a homophobic father who damn near beats you to death when he finds out
you’re gay. Talk about baggage, I never let anyone in after that. Fuck, it’d
been years before I even tried to so much as kiss anyone after that. Hook-ups
were my chosen vice in college, but I never let anyone in. And lo and behold
what happens the first time I do? I get my dick sucked by the most amazing man
I’ve ever met. The same man laying here beside me sleeping. The same man who’s
quickly winning my heart.
I was so nervous last night when he undressed
me, so afraid he’d reject me in my vulnerable state of nakedness. My body still
bears the physical scars from my father’s abuse which I thought would turn him
off. But he looked right past them as though they didn’t exist. And when he
called me baby, I lost it. A term of endearment from a self-proclaimed bad boy.
That alone shows the depths of his humanity. I know the real Hunter’s in there,
now all I need to do is prove to him that I won’t hurt him because clearly, something
in his past has seriously fucked him up.
