He ran from the fire, but the ashes still cling to his soul.
Zachariah Quinn has money, power, and a haunted past buried beneath years of silence. Omolewa Akanni has nothing but a dream, a dagger-sharp mind, and the scars left behind by failure and disappointment. When fate pulls them together-from the chaos of Mushin to the shadows of New York-they discover that healing isn't always gentle, and the truth can burn more than lies ever could.
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.
