The Scars That Make Us (Second Generation Book 3)

Story Introduction

Catarina Hutchinson knew how to put on a fake facade, she'd been doing it her entire life. The daughter of a lifelong politician, she was always expected to act a certain way. Look a certain way. Be friends with certain groups and force a smile on her face, regardless of the dark cloud that always lingered in her head. One week long bachelorette trip was just another expectation from her social circle. Little did she know her life would be changed by the end of the week.

Jace Alexander was a rancher and a rough around the edges kind of person. He loved his family, the ranch, and a nice cold beer at the end of the day. When his ranch was invaded by a group of sorority sisters enjoying a bachelorette week away, the last thing he expected was to be blind sided by one of them. She's totally out of his league in every way possible, but that didn't stop him from throwing his proverbial hat in the race. They may seem like total opposites on paper, but there is always more than meets the eye.

The Scars That Make Us is the third book in the Second Generation Series of the Port Ranch family. The young boys that we watched grow up are now adults and boy do they have some drama that follows them. You should first read "Finding Us" followed by "Layers of Us."

This story is intended for mature audience only and contains many adult and mature themes including sex, mental illness, drinking, and some drug use.  If these topics are triggering for you, please take care of your mental health above all else.

This story is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are the product of the author’s imagination or are used only fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, places, business events, or locations is entirely coincidental.
