Morgan has spent too long letting others control her story, so when she decides to trust the dangerous man everyone calls Scar, it feels like the first real choice she's made for herself in years—and what she discovers beneath his fearsome reputation surprises her in the best ways. As she begins to heal and reclaim her life, a ghost from her past resurfaces with devastating consequences, forcing both Morgan and Lorenzo to confront the darkest corners of their worlds. What unfolds is a raw, unflinching love story between two people who understand each other's scars in ways no one else can. This is a tale about finding strength in the broken places and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous person in your life is also the one brave enough to protect you.
