Silk and Scars
They took me when I was three. Since then, I've forgotten what safety feels like... what love is supposed to be. Every scar on my body tells a story-none of them with a happy ending. By day, I protect my little brothers. By night, I fight to silence the screams echoing in my head. There's no escape from this house. Not yet. But I haven't given up. Not completely. Sometimes, I wonder... What if there's more to my past than I know? What if I wasn't meant to live like this-trapped, broken, forgotten? And what if... just maybe... Someone out there still remembers me? Someone who could love me enough to bring me back to life?

By this age he should be getting married and starting a family, but he doesn't think he's ready for this. His best friend is a woman named Elizabeth. She is the same age as Jamie and they have known each other since they were very young. Her father is in the Mafia and only wants the best for her. He can see the connection between Jamie and his daughter and makes the decision to arrange their marriage. Jamie loves Elizabeth, but not in the way her father seems to think. He doesn't have sexual or even romantic interest in women. He just didn't have those feelings. Elizabeth doesn't have romantic feelings for Jamie either. She loves him as her friend; the one she can ask for advice or go dress shopping with, not the one she is to marry. The wedding is called off by both of them, which angers her father. One drunken night leads to murder. How will Jamie ever be able to find love? *Read this book to find out!*Complete
