As secrets unravel and hidden enemies close in, they must confront a terrifying reality: sometimes, the people who break you... are the very ones you trusted most.
And sometimes, the person who saves you... is the one just as broken.
Scars of the Heart is a gripping romance of mystery, trauma, and unexpected love that refuses to die-even in the darkest places.
