The Scars She Hides

Charlotte Brown is struggling to stay under the radar at her new school. Being the new kid already draws unwanted attention. But being the new kid while hiding from her past as it follows her across the country is a whole other story.

After the death of abusive stepfather, Charlotte Brown is moved across the country to stay with her grandparents and redo her senior year of high school. When the scars and trauma of her past are too hard to hide, she desperately seeks help from her college tutor.

Holden Peirce looked like he could kill you... is actually a cinnamon roll. The student he is tutoring is hiding something. She is too smart to be failing math, and to jumpy to go unnoticed. She is afraid of Holden, that much is obvious. When an opportunity arises to get closer to her, Holden takes it. He has to figure out why this scared little bird is desperate to skip class, even if it puts her in close proximity to himself.

Something is going on here, and it's not just curiosity that draws Holden in.
