Contemporary Romance
Date Published: January 1, 2018
Callie McKenzie hadn't had a good introduction to life.
A drug addicted mother caught in the crossfire of a bar shootout saw her dumped in the foster system at the age of thirteen.
Life finally seemed to take a turn for the better when she was offered adoption by a kindly couple but, she knew it couldn't last. Tragedy puts an end to her dream of a happy life when she is taken to the isolated farm of an abusive distant relative.
At the age of seventeen, beaten and bruised, fearing for her life, Callie flees.
In the dead of night, on a lonely road, Jake Prentiss - President of a motorcycle club, finds her stumbling to freedom.
In the weeks that follow she is slowly pieced back together and falls hard for her knight in shining leather. It doesn't last long and tragedy once again strikes.
At the age of eighteen, Callie finds herself alone again and in prison.
Her cousin always said she was a BITCH.
Now, she was also BROKEN.
About the Author
I’m a Queensland, Australia gal and live in a small village in a rural area where the noise is that of birds and the air is clean.
For 35 years I worked as a Nurse in ER and Theater. I retired in 2011 and since then I have been able to devote my time to my first love and passion – storytelling.
Married to a Naval Officer for 44 years, we moved around the country on postings and lived overseas in Papua New Guinea for 3 ½ years. Living in a place, experiencing what the cities have to offer, their own unique beauty and way of life, gave me great ideas for stories I would later write.
Under my real name – Susan Horsnell, I write Western Historical Romance set in Texas or South Dakota (as I have travelled extensively in both) and so as not to confuse my readers, I write Steamy Contemporary, M/F, M/M, Menage and even a Shapeshifter under my pen name of A.L. Simpson.
I love exploring different genres and using life experience to weave into my stories. I love drama, twists, hard heroes with a soft center, which is sometimes hard to find and strong heroines who find themselves completed when they find their soulmate.
In our retirement, my husband and I travel a great deal although now, with an aging and ailing dog, we have confined it to exploring the beauty of Australia in our very well-appointed caravan as we are able to take her with us. I document our travels on my Facebook page for all to enjoy with me.
I hope you will take the time to pick up one of my books and I look forward to hearing from my readers either via Facebook or email.

OUR REVIEW:
I think Callie gets the award for the strongest female character I have read so far in 2018.
I cannot imagine the strength it took to endure and overcome all she had been through and for such a young girl!
I was immediately pulled into this story just based off the young girls heartbreak and troubles only for it to evolve in to such a sweet, romantic HEA. Broken Bitch literally pulled me in and was a pretty fast paced read. There was no time to be bored while Callie grew into a woman...that portion of the story was super important to her getting her HEA.
I think Jake was a perfect match for her. Super caring, strong, in charge! She needed a man to really guide her through. Loved him!
This is the first book by A.L. Simpson I have read and this is part of a series, but they seem to be standalones. I'm intrigued enough that I will be keeping my eyes out for other books!
