In the shadows of the Bronx, Scarlet survives the only way she knows how-one stolen wallet at a time. By day, she's just another face in the crowd. By night, she dances in a run-down strip club where the lights are dim, the music's loud, and the danger is always lurking. Behind every seductive smile is a plan, and behind every dance, a pickpocket's hustle.
But the night she slips her hand into Kane Diallo pocket, everything changes.
Kane isn't just another high-rolling mark-he's a ruthless drug lord with a code of his own. When he realizes she's taken from him, he doesn't call the cops. He makes her pay-his way. Kidnapped and thrown into a world where trust is currency and freedom comes at a price, Scarlet must work off her debt in the shadows of his empire.
As the lines between hate and heat begin to blur, Scarlet discovers that some scars are more than skin-deep-and some hearts are far more dangerous than any street corner.
Raw, intense, and gripping-Scars Run Deep is a dark romance about survival, power, and the kind of love that leaves a mark.
