Scars Like Ours
Scars Like Ours is a dark, emotional enemies-to-lovers romance about two broken souls who are forced to confront the pain they've buried-and the unexpected healing they find in each other. Aiden is the school bully: angry, volatile, and unreachable. Behind his violent outbursts and sharp tongue lies a shattered boy, shaped by years of abuse, betrayal, and abandonment. He hates his so-called friends, resents the world, and trusts no one-not even himself. Amara is quiet, kind, and aching to be seen. Curvy, dark-skinned, and often overlooked, she's spent years carrying the weight of family trauma and the devastating aftermath of sexual abuse. Bullied by classmates and haunted by her past, she keeps her heart locked away, hoping someone might still think she's worth loving. When they're forced into a trauma support group together, it's instant friction. Aiden mocks what he doesn't understand. Amara sees through the mask he wears. But as shared pain slowly becomes shared truth, their hatred begins to unravel into something deeper-messy, intense, and impossible to ignore. This is not a love story wrapped in softness. It's about two survivors clawing their way toward healing, fighting off their demons-and learning that love doesn't have to be perfect to be real.Complete
