Fractured Future

Anaconda Tales, Book 1

By: J Rose

Narrated by: Hannah Hedley, Will Thorne

I am Asset 768. Victim. Survivor. Now… Agent.

After six years of underground fights, a saviour emerges from the shadows. With secret-filled onyx eyes and a past as tangled as mine, his salvation from the cartel has strings attached.

I'm a bargaining chip, delivered to my brother's best friend and the infamous Anaconda Team. Yet freedom is a bittersweet victory that comes at a cost.

Haunted by my time in captivity and memories forged in violence, I'm offered a lifeline: Join Sabre Security. In return, they'll help me enact justice against my traffickers.

But the real danger isn't my unrelenting thirst for vengeance—it's my powerful, possessive teammates who will prove to be far deadlier than the fighting pits.

Close quarters blur boundaries, melting professionalism into forbidden lust. I want to take back all that I lost, and not even the threat of my captor hunting down his stolen asset can stop me from filling the chasm he carved inside me.

He thinks I'm just a number.

He'll soon learn I'm his reckoning.

From the bestselling author of Blackwood Institute and Sabre Security comes a gritty battle against the criminal underworld with a tough-as-nails heroine and the agents determined to love her rough edges. Set in the J Rose shared universe, Fractured Future is the first book in a dark, why-choose trilogy that must be listened to in order.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Another Great one by J Rose

Okay... I need the second book immediately with that cliffhanger!! I love J Rose's universe that I have stumbled upon. Each world is hauntingly beautiful and the characters are always so easy to read and you can literally see the emotions flowing off the page for them.

As always with J Rose, please check your trigger warnings!

Ember has was kidnapped and enslaved 6 years ago. She is now forced to earn money for the horrible man that bought her in underground fights. One night, after a particularly grueling match, she notices a man with onyx eyes watching her in the crowd. Next thing she knows, she is being rescued and dropped off for the Anaconda team to pick her up. She realizes that her brother Tom, his best friend Warner, and his team have never stopped looking for her.

Ember struggles with her trauma even though she doesn't want to admit it and wants to use the tools that were forced upon her to help save the other women. So naturally... She starts training with the Anaconda team!

The slow burn in this book is so good... Just leaves you wanting more from each man! Hyland, Warner, Axel, and even Blaine are every girls dream. I cannot wait to see how we progress in the next book.

Listening to the audiobook was the icing on the cake. The performance by both narrators was so good!!
