Badged and Broken

Sergeant Keira Vance lives in the grey space.

A former Royal Military Police soldier turned Special Reconnaissance Regiment operator, she has built her career on silence, shadows, and survival. In the dust and danger of Helmand, she is “Raven” — lethal, controlled, and trusted to get close to the enemy without ever being seen.

But behind the armour, Keira is trapped in a different kind of war.

Staff Sergeant Kit Fane, the married SAS operator who once mentored her, has spent years convincing her that he made her, owns her, and is the only man who truly understands the darkness inside her. Their affair is toxic, addictive, and slowly destroying everything she has left of herself.

Then there is Rhys “Taff” Bevan.

SBS boat handler. Best mate. Safe harbour. The man who has loved Keira quietly through every bad decision, every midnight extraction, and every moment she has mistaken damage for destiny.

When a covert operation spirals into blood, betrayal, and a desperate fight for survival, Keira is forced to confront the truth: the most dangerous enemy is not always the one holding the gun.

Sometimes, it is the man who taught you to obey.

Gritty, emotional, and intensely charged, Badged and Broken is a military romantic thriller about obsession, trauma, loyalty, and the brutal courage it takes to choose the person who brings you home.
